Hard Clad Silica Fiber
The SynchLink cable system is designed for use with a 200 micron
(step index multi-mode) Hard Clad Silica (HCS
coated with a patented hard polymer cladding that provides higher
tensile strength, greater resistance to moisture, and lower
microbending losses than conventional coatings.
HCS Cable Construction
The HCS cable is the core of the HCS fiber and is reinforced with
aranid yarn-strength members and covered with a PVC outer jacket.
The cable specification is shown in Table B.3.
