MMFHA Hermetic MM Optical Fiber

Product information "MMFHA Hermetic MM Optical Fiber"

850, 1300 nm; Core Dia. 50 µm; Cladding Dia. 125 µm; Dual Acrylate Coating; Hermetic Layer; -60 to +85 °C

Corning’s MMFHA hermetic multi mode (MM) optical fibers are designed for applications requiring improved fatigue resistance, high useable strength and excellent resistance to hydrogen permeation into optical fibers. For hermetic single mode fibers please refer to Corning’s SMFHA fibers.

Corning’s specialty designed hermetic layer provides a protective barrier to help shield the glass from exposure to hydrogen, water and corrosive chemicals while maintaining optical qualities comparable to standard fibers.

The properties of the hermetic layer increase the fatigue performance of the fiber five times compared with non-hermetic fibers. Corning’s hermetic layer is a thin layer of amorphous carbon that is bonded to the glass surface of the optical fiber. The fiber is manufactured with Corning’s patented Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD) process.

The MMFHA hermetic multi mode specialty fibers offer high reliability and consistent performance for a variety of applications.

Key Features:

  • No Hydrogen Aging at Room Temperature to +85 °C
  • Low Attenuation
  • Outstanding Consistency and Uniformity Using Patented Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD) Process
  • Efficient Coupling
  • Dual Acrylate Coating System Provides Excellent Protection and Superior Mechanical Robustness
  • Multi Mode (MM) Fibers Optimized for 850 nm and 1300 nm Wavelengths
  • Inquire for Other Glasses


Applications: Hydrogen-rich Environments; Long-distance Undersea Links; Sensors; Increased Fatigue Resistance for Tight Bend Applications
