1.2 mm Simplex Cable - Non-Spaceflight

GORE 1.2 mm Simplex Cable

GORE™ 1.2 mm Simplex Cable design has found usage in a variety of demanding applications.  The cable incorporates different optical fibers but has a common design utilizing the expanded PTFE buffer, extruded jacket, and a high strength braid.  The most common optical fibers are available in the GORE™ 1.2 mm Simplex Cable.  Fiber may be specified as either single-mode or multimode; polyimide or acrylate coated; and standard fiber or polarization maintaining fiber. 


For your special requirements, the design can accept any optical fiber with a coating diameter of 150 µm to 250 µm.  The design is compatible with standard aerospace connectors including Deutsch MC5, Radiall Luxcis, Diamond AVIM, and MIL-T-29504 contacts.

Features

  • Rugged replacement for 900 µm buffered fiber
  • Lightweight
  • Suited for laser pigtails or in-the-box applications requiring maximum flexibility
  • Optically stable over wide temperature range

Cable Specifications

  • Standard color: blue
  • Mass: 2.5 grams/meter
  • Temperature range: -55°C to +200°C

Cables shown below are typical constructions. If you need a particular fiber type and do not see it on the chart, please consult the factory.
