ClearCurve Mid-Temperature SM Fibers

Product information "ClearCurve Mid-Temperature SM Fibers"

1310, 1550 nm; Mode Field Dia. 8.6, 9.65 µm; Cladding Dia. 125 µm; Acrylate Coating; Optional Hermetic Layer; -60 to +180 °C 

Equipped with mid-temperature acrylate-based coatings, the Corning® ClearCurve® series of single mode (SM) bend insensitive optical fibers now includes higher temperature capability.

For use at temperatures up to +180 °C and beyond, these fibers deliver the best macro bend performance in the industry with ease of use and handling – benefiting sensing systems operating in harsh environments.

The ClearCurve single mode fiber series includes the SMBI-5-XMT fiber with mid-temperature acrylate coating as well as the SMBIH-5-XMT fiber with mid-temperature acrylate coating and an additional hermetic layer. For mid-temperature multi mode fibers please refer to Corning’s ClearCurve multi mode fiber series.

Key Features:

  • Acrylate-base for Ease of Handling
  • Rated for up to +180 °C
  • Test data available at +200 °C
  • Hermetic Coating (Optional) for Protection Against Hydrogren-induced Attenuation Increase and Improved Fatigue Resistance
  • Consistent Strength Over Time at Elevated Temperatures
  • Designed to Meet Your Small Bend Needs: Recommended Min. Bending Radii of 5 mm
  • Fully Compliant With ITU-Recommendations G.657 and G652.D
  • Compatible with Corning® SMF-28e® and SMF-28e+® Fibers


Applications: Fiber Sensing and Data Transmission with Tight Bend Requirements for: Aerospace & Defense, Medical, Structural Health Monitoring, Down-Hole Drilling
