This catalog covers chainflex® fiber‑optic cables engineered for high‑motion applications where conventional patch cords fail. It explains glass types, buffering, aramid reinforcement and jacketing choices that protect bending‑sensitive fibers in tight radii.
Performance data links modal bandwidth, attenuation and minimum bend radius to speed and cable routing strategy. Connector options and pre‑terminated assemblies are documented for quick installation.
Application notes compare fiber vs. copper for noise immunity and long travels, with guidance on hybrid harnesses that carry power and data in the same chain without crosstalk.
Cleaning, inspection and bend‑limiting practices are packaged into simple checklists to preserve optical margin over long duty cycles.
