- High proof test level and Weibull modulus - Long lifetimes in deployment conditions
- Bend insensitive - Survives application in tight confines
- Rad resistant & rad hard - Useful in radiation environments
- RoHS compliant
Applications
- Airframe
- Spacecraft
- Missile and UAV optical interconnects
- Large bandwidth tactical cables
- Miniature fiber optic packages
