Pure Silica Hard Clad Fiber (PSHC)

PSHC - Pure Silica Hard Clad 200/300 the fiber for demanding industry applications now with a new design featuring a protective fluorine-doped silica layer around the core glass for deployment in a wide wavelength range. PSHC shows an industry leading low attenuation at highest reliability under even the most demanding environmental conditions. Being a fiber for demanding industry applications, PSHC shows an unmatched low attenuation, high laser damage threshold and fatigue resistance. The fiber’s large core diameter allows for easy handling and high coupling efficiency to LED and laser sources. The special low index polymer cladding ensures high temperature stability and allows the use of Crimp & Cleave technology. Its easy strippable buffer material supports fast and easy connectivity and enhanced productivity in subsequent connectorization.

PSHC is now being offered with two alternative 500µm buffer options:

• PSHC with ETFE buffer material is the perfect choice for harsh environments as it provides highest reliability in ambience with high or low temperatures and humidity.
  
• PSHC with TPA buffer material is ideal for the production of LSZH Low Smoke Zero Halogen cables for indoor application.
