This patch cable incorporates solarization-resistant fiber. Solarization refers to the formation of color centers within a fiber that lead to transmission degradation. These color centers form when exposed to light below 300 nm. Solarization-Resistant fibers are thus desirable when working in the UV due to their superior transmission and prolonged performance. Typical applications for this fiber is spectroscopy, UV photolithography, and medical diagnostics.
Generally High-OH Fiber experiences significant transmission losses when exposed to UV radiation. In contrast, solarization-resistant fiber offers higher transmission. For optimal performance, expose the fiber to UV radiation for 5 minutes prior to use in your application to allow initial degradation. After this time, equilibrium is reached and the fiber can be used normally.
