Fiberguide has recently introduced a groundbreaking innovation in optical fiber technology—high-strength aluminum-coated fiber. This advanced product is designed to withstand extreme conditions, making it suitable for applications that require both durability and precision. The aluminum coating significantly enhances the mechanical strength of the fiber, allowing it to endure high-stress bending and harsh industrial environments.
This fiber has been thoroughly tested and certified for use in critical sectors such as medical devices, semiconductor manufacturing, and advanced sensor systems. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability and performance under demanding operational conditions.
The aluminum coating is particularly effective on step-index, graded-index, and single-mode fibers, offering superior strength (over 10 GPa) and excellent resistance to stress corrosion (greater than 100). These properties make it ideal for applications where mechanical integrity is crucial. Additionally, the fiber is sealed to maintain airtight conditions, enabling operation in high-vacuum environments. It can function across an extensive temperature range, from -269°C to +400°C, which expands its applicability in extreme climates and industrial settings.
Standard core diameters reach up to 440 microns, with continuous lengths available up to 4 kilometers, making it a versatile choice for large-scale projects.

The [Screw-Locking" tangless insert provides self-locking torque on the male member by a series of [chords" on one or more of the insert coils. With tangless inserts, no loose tangs are left behind, and they are the solution when foreign object debris (FOD) cannot be present in critical applications.
