Fiberguide’s AGI fibers feature a graded index profile instead of a step index profile. These fibers are primarily used in data transmission applications where more bandwidth is needed than step index fibers can offer. These fibers are available with Acrylate coatings and also high performance Polyimide, Aluminum, and Gold coatings that allow them to exceed the temperature performance levels of standard fibers.
