heracle features pure fused silica step index multimode fibers, optimised for applications in the UV/VIS and VIS/IR wavelengths. Optional solarization resistant performance for UV wavelength region is available.

The fiber is protected with Aluminum coating. Aluminum coatings not only enable the fiber to be used in applications of a wider temperature range, but also offers excellent protection at extended stress levels. As an electric conductor this type of coating provides the user with the ability to terminate the fiber directly onto the coating, supporting a hermetically sealed assembly. The manufacturing process utilized in the production of these fibers results in a superior strength optical fiber, with improved long term reliability especially under extreme bend radius applications. Unlike polymers, metal coatings such as Aluminum have very low outgassing of volatile components.
All Aluminum coated fibers are 100 % quality tested to stringent test procedures in accordance with TIA/EIA and FOTP guidelines. Custom specific tests to verify application requirements are available. Heracle is proud distributor of metallized optical fiber manufactured by Waveguide Technologies, Inc. New Jersey, USA.
