Fiber Patch Cord, Singlemode, F-SC-C, 320-430 nm, 3 m, FC/UPC

The F-SM-300-SC-C-3FC Fiber Patch cord uses F-SM-300-SC-C fiber for near UV operation. This patch cord is 3 meters long with FC/UPC connectors at both ends.

Unlike conventional fibers, F-SM-300-SC has been designed with an un-doped, pure-silica core, surrounded by a depressed, fluorine-doped cladding. Without germanium (GeO2), electronic defects and consequent color centers associated with the Ge–O bond, the prime cause of photo darkening at short wavelengths, are avoided with the result that power handling capacity is increased from a few milliwatts to several watts. In fact, in SM300, the transmission-limiting mechanism is effectively shifted from photo darkening to other nonlinearities (e.g. stimulated scattering) or even thermal damage – and in both cases, these limits too are increased over those of a conventional germano-silicate fiber.

Fiber Construction

Our standard patch cables are available in several different lengths and connector types. These fibers have a 900 µm jacket surrounded by a layer of Aramid yarn for extra protection. A 2.5 mm PVC cable jacket provides additional environmental protection.

Custom Singlemode Patch Cables

Use Model Number to configure a custom fiber-optic patch cord using these fibers. You can specify the fiber type, length, jacketing, and input and output connectors.
