The Benefits of Thinner Fiber
It''s estimated that as much as 10% of all fiber sold is now 200-microns. Interestingly, the core glass in the two types of fiber is identical, with a 9-micron core and a 125-micron surrounding
Get Ready for 200-Micron Fiber | ICT Solutions & Education
The demand for smaller cables has created a market for 200-micron fiber. This fiber can provide significant diameter reduction in cables, while maintaining the same glass diameter.
