TECHNICAL FAQ

Questions for application planning

What information is needed for product selection?

Provide the fiber and cable structure, coating dimensions, expected handling loads, temperature range and microbend test method.

Which variables should be controlled in microbend testing?

Control the coated-fiber and cable construction, imposed disturbance, optical wavelength, temperature sequence, baseline method and acceptance criteria.

Should the coating be evaluated by itself?

Finished-fiber and cable-level testing is important because microbend performance depends on the complete structure and process.
