Φ80 μm cladding
PANDA
Fujikura PANDA fibers (Polarization-maintaining AND Absorption-reducing fiber) have a superior optical property in polarization-maintaining because of the symmetrical accuracy in cross section and the uniform constitution of stress applying parts. Based on Fujikura's fiber technology, PANDA fibers have a universal quality with not only low polarization-crosstalk and low attenuation but also the broad suitability for fusion-splice or optical connector. The feature of this fiber is its small diameter, with an 80 μm cladding diameter. Additionally, it has a smaller bending radius compared to the standard type.
Features
・Small diameter cladding
