Universal Fibre optics can supply high quality unsheathed single polymer fibre on reels.

This product is lighting grade and gives good visible light transmission and flexibility.

Universal Fibre Optics are the approved Mitsubishi polymer lighting fibre distributor for the UK.

We also make unsheathed single core fibre in 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 0.75mm, 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm active diameters.

Specification

Core Material: Polymethyl Methacrylate

Cladding Material: Fluorinated polymer

Refractive Index: 1.49

Refractive Index Profile: Step Index

Numerical Aperture: 0.5

Operation Temperature Range: -55°C to +70°C in low humidity; <60°C at 95% RH (attenuation change is within 10% after 1000 hours except for that due to absorbed water). Please note that fibre can become brittle at lower temperatures.
