01 / CONFIGURATION DIRECTIONS
Select a configuration from the application boundaries
These configurations establish a practical discussion starting point. The final product requires a controlled specification based on interface, length, installation and validation conditions.
1.2 mm lightweight simplex
Balances mechanical protection with small-diameter routing for box-to-box and internal links.
0.9 mm compact optical unit
For dense connectors, breakout assemblies and space-constrained internal equipment.
Match a solution direction to the link target
Solution codes support early technical discussions by aligning protocol, construction, link boundaries and application in one view.

Configuration dependent
Optical loss, temperature and jacket material vary by diameter, fiber class and part number; the final specification must identify the exact part number.
Technical referenceValues are confirmed against category, gauge, length and termination
03 / TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION
From functional core to terminated interface
Optical fiber
