  • + Series with geometrical qualification and dual wavelengths, test data supplied

All products can be customized to suit your specific applications.

Semi-rigid optic cables are used anywhere the fiber needs to be protected or maintained in place. The copper tube allows a higher protection and reduces the losses often caused by fiber movements. They are available in various lengths, with a right angle, in a U-shaped bend or in a straight line. We can also make this product according to your own drawings and specifications.

  • Available with FC connectors
  • Minimal fiber movement
  • Highest fiber protection
  • Shaped at our production plant according to your design and specifications
