Fiberguide’s Universal Clad, or UniClad, optical fibers are Silica Core/Silica Clad/Polymer Coated fibers designed for high power transmission and other applications where a large cladding relative to the core is beneficial. These fibers feature a fixed 500µm cladding diameter, with a 100µm - 400µm core size, making laser alignment and splicing easier. The larger 600µm and 800µm core sizes use proportionally larger cladding.
