multimode fiber optic patch cables step index SMA905-SMA905 furcation tubing custom patch cables

We offer multimode step index fiber optic patch cables with SMA905 (straight ferrule) connectors on both ends. These cables are ideal for a broad range of wavelengths from 190 nm to 2500 nm.

Each patch cable includes two protective caps that shield the connector ends from dust and other hazards. Additional Rubber Fiber Caps and Metal Threaded Fiber Caps for SMA-terminated ends are also sold separately.

The majority of the cables have orange (Ø3 mm) PVC furcation tubing, while the Ø1500 µm core fibers are packaged in stainless steel (or plastic coated) jackets. We recommend choosing stainless steel jackets when using fibers with large core diameters (≥Ø1000 µm) or high NAs (≥0.50) in light-sensitive applications, as it is easier for stray ambient light to penetrate the Ø3 mm PVC fiber jackets. Alternatively, custom patch cables may be purchased that use our black or stainless-steel furcation tubing, in order to minimize stray light entering the fiber.

These cables are not designed for applications that require the fibers to carry high optical powers, as excessive powers can cause the epoxy used in the connectors to experience catastrophic heating. We offer alternate cabling options, in addition to un-connectorized fibers, that are compatible with high optical powers. Please contact us for details.
