SOFT GLASS (BOROSILICATE)
Bundled Optical Fibers
Innovative Fiber Optics...Every Step of the Way™
With an extremely tight bend radius, CeramOptec’s soft glass bundles are available with several different numerical apertures
and diameters. Depending on your application, bundle ends can be glued or fused with any standard connector—or custom
ferrules, machined in-house. In addition, metal or PVC protection tubes are available to suit your application.
