Graded Index Fiber

AGI™ Series

(850nm, 1300nm)

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.

• Recommended Bend Radius:
o Short Term: 100 X Clad Diameter
o Long Term: 200 X Clad Diameter

Please note that these figures represent best practice recommendations. In applications where
tighter bends are required, Fiberguide can assist you in estimating what impact they
may have on fiber reliability.
