Operation temperature range | -55°C to +70°C in low humidity; <60°C at 95% RH (attenuation change is within 10% after 1000 hours except for that due to absorbed water). Please note that fiber can become brittle at lower temperatures. |
Sheathing specifications | Megolon S540 is a thermoplastic, halogen free cable sheathing compound which exhibits an excellent level of fire retardancy. This product is specifically aimed at designs of cables requiring a good degree of flexibility and the ability to meet the more stringent fire test specifications. |
S540 Toxicity Index (DEF STAN 02-713) | 0.4 |
S540 Halogen Acid Gas Evolution (IEC 60754-1) | Zero |
S540 Flammability Temperature Index (ISO 4589-3) | 330°C |
Stranded fiber cables using 1mm and 1.5mm fiber can be made to order as can mixed diameter bundles.
We can supply blank common ends and sized ferrules for installers to cut and fit the fiber on site.
Though making harnesses on site does not produce as good or even light output as properly factory terminated harnesses, sometimes it can be necessary to terminate the fiber on site and UFO can supply suitably experienced fitters with the raw materials to do this.
These fibers can also be stripped back at one end to make starry effects through ceilings.
