OPTRAN® HUV, OPTRAN® HWF
Hard Polymer-Clad Fiber—Cleave N Connect™
Innovative Fiber Optics...Every Step of the Way™
Optran HUV and Optran HWF hard polymer-clad fibers offer high numerical apertures to suit a broad
range of applications, from remote illumination to photodynamic therapy. This high quality fiber
offers easy termination with no pistoning effect and is a cost effective alternative to silica/silica fiber.
We offer a choice of several jacket types and sizes—as well as custom-designed products and sizes
to meet your specifications.
