HP Fiber Optic Patchcord 100/140, 0.22 NA
This high-power fiber optic cable features a 100 μm / 0.22 NA fiber, SMA connectors, and a visible anti-reflection (AR) coating. With a length of 2 m, it can handle power levels above 50 W without requiring heat sinking due to the air-gap SMA connector.
Product description
High-power multimode patchcord with a 100/140 µm silica fiber and 0.22 NA for efficient coupling and stable delivery of visible–near-IR laser light. Balances tight focusing capability with reasonable alignment tolerance for lab and industrial use.
Key Features
-
100/140 µm core/cladding, NA 0.22 — good compromise between small output spot and robust coupling from diode/solid-state sources.
-
High-power connector options (e.g., epoxyless air-gap input; SMA905/FC at output) to mitigate thermal load and back-reflections.
-
Optional VIS or NIR AR coatings reduce Fresnel losses and increase delivered power.
-
Durable outer jacket for improved bend, crush, and tensile resistance.
Applications
Beam delivery for precision illumination, spectroscopy, instrumentation, and pilot materials processing where smaller spot sizes than 200–400 µm fibers are desired.

Handling Notes
Respect minimum bend radius and avoid mechanical shocks near ferrules. Keep end faces clean; start alignment at reduced power and increase only after achieving good coupling efficiency, especially with air-gap inputs.
