SYLEX is pleased to introduce our high-quality fiber end caps, designed to enhance the durability and performance of optical fiber systems. A key feature of our end caps is their ability to reduce optical power density by allowing light to enter or exit with a larger beam diameter, thereby preventing damage.
Our solution is based on advanced end cap technology, which involves terminating the single-mode (SM) or multi-mode (MM) fiber with a “cap” made from coreless fiber. This ensures expansion of the Mode Field Diameter (MFD) and reduces the power density at the fiber end. SYLEX end caps can be incorporated into various fiber optic connectors.
Key Highlights
Our fiber end caps offer the following advantages:
- Lower Optical Power Density: By allowing the light to enter or exit with a larger beam diameter, the end caps reduce the optical power density, preventing damage from high-power densities.
- Protection and Durability: Made from robust materials resistant to thermal changes and chemicals, our end caps help maintain the structural and optical integrity of fibers.
- Reduced Signal Loss: Additional special coatings can minimize signal loss for improved performance.
- Compatibility: Available in combination with single-mode fibers, multi-mode fibers, and polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers, with options for antireflection coating on the fiber end face.
