GiHCS® 50 µm Industrialized Optical Fibers
50 μm GiHCS optical fiber from Lightera combines the renowned high mechanical strength characteristics of HCS® Fluroacrylate optical fiber with the enhanced bandwidth of a Graded-Index core profile. This design supports the trend toward Ethernet-based protocols in industrial networking with high reliability optical fibers for harsh environmental conditions.
A distinct advantage of GiHCS optical fiber is the Lightera Crimp & Cleave termination method. Our durable polymer enables field technicians to connectorize fibers and cables by crimping connectors directly onto the fiber’s coating and then cleaving the glass fiber. Like electrical connections, reliable handheld tools are used; no power, no epoxies, no polishing. Quick, easy, and durable.
