January 23, 2011 – For reliable use in data communication links, Fiberguide Industries announces its AGI Series of Graded Index Silica core/ Silica clad optical fibers.The AGI Series offers the high bandwidth of single mode fibers with the convenient termination of step-index multimode fibers. The result is a fiber with good bandwidth that can be used with lower cost light emitting diodes, making it a popular choice for medium distance data communication links such as local area networks (LANs).Fiberguide Industries is the only supplier of graded index silica fibers to offer premium coatings for reliable performance in extreme temperature conditions such as polyimide (-190ºC to +350ºC), aluminum (-269ºC to +400ºC) and gold (-269ºC to +700ºC).
Fibers are also available in a variety of sizes to fit customer applications. The AGI Series 50/125 is available with core diameters from 50µm ±3µm and clad diameters from 125µm ±1µm/-3µm.
The AGI Series 62.5/125 has core diameters from 62.5µm ±3µm and clad diameters from 125µm + 1µm/-3µm.Fiberguide Industries, Inc. manufactures a comprehensive line of standard and custom high optical transmission fibers, OEM assemblies and ultra precision arrays.
The company is a part of the global Halma technology group, which also includes photonics specialists Ocean Optics, a leader in spectroscopy and optical thin films; and Labsphere, a recognized expert in the light metrology field. FDA registered and ISO 9001 certified as a Contract Manufacturer and Custom Device Manufacturer, Fiberguide’s corporate and optical fiber manufacturing facilities are located in Stirling, New Jersey, with a manufacturing/assembly facility in Caldwell, Idaho.
