LaserWave FLEX 50 μm multimode fiber provides improved bending performance at tight radii by confining “higher order” modes (those operating closer to the core/clad interface) that normally escape from standard multimode fiber under bent conditions. To do this, OFS has modified the fiber cladding area surrounding the core to include a trench that prevents light from escaping. The trench area is carefully designed to properly confine and control this light in order to maintain excellent system performance and low connection loss, even when mated to standard 50 μm multimode fiber.|LaserWave FLEX 50 μm multimode fiber provides improved bending performance at tight radii by confining “higher order” modes (those operating closer to the core/clad interface) that normally escape from standard multimode fiber under bent conditions.
