CuSMA Laser Cables - FCL23-20500-2000

CuSMA™ laser cables with distinctive copper alloy ferrule and free-standing cantilevered fiber provide unequaled fiber centration and connector durability. The copper provides an excellent thermal path to remove heat from overfill, and reflections.

• Low OH and High OH fluorine-doped SI (step index) silica clad fiber with the standard 0.22NA (numerical aperture) are inventoried in core sizes from 100 to 1000 microns. Silica cladding thicknesses range from 20 to 40 microns for effective waveguides from the UV to near IR. GI (graded index) fiber is also available.

• Silica fiber coated with silicone and nylon are used for high power applications. The low-index silicone (1.39) performs as both a protective coating and secondary waveguide to channel cladding modes ot the output end of the fiber.

• The flexible steel armored cable commonly referred to as squarelock cable is stocked in outer diameters of 6 and 7mm, although both smaller and larger diameters are available. Flexible vinyl coatings adding about 1mm to the diameter are in stock in gray, blue and black. Custom colors are also available. If cables are to be subjected to low vacuum applications, or are to be AR (anti-reflective) coated, bare cable is recommended.

• CuSMA™ cables are custom-manufactured in all core sizes and configurations, in any length from1 to 50+ meters. Cables are shipped from 1 to 4 weeks from date of order, depending on quantity and scheduling. o Available unkeyed (standard) and with key o Centration ​
