Individual Specifications 900mm Spool fiber D >=0.6 large spool fiber D <=0.5 small spool about 1600g of fiber/spool 300mm 10,000km of 1.0mm D fibers - 6,250 spools of 1600m +- several 100m Cut Fiber D >=0.8 Cut length0.5m to 5m Kuraray Confidential
Individual Specifications Diameter Laser Diameter Apparutus (final measurent) Laser Diameter Apparutus (feed back control) Measurement frequency 50,000 pts Average +- 1% of D Tolerance 3б/D=2.5% 1.0mm D fiber Average +-0.01 Standard Deviation RMS=<0.007mm Kuraray Confidential
Individual Specifications Bumps over +-2% of average D The number, position, diameter, length will be specified. Making a red mark on all bumps is possible. Number of 2% bumps =< 50 per km Number of 4% bumps =< 15 per km Kuraray Confidential
Individual Specifications Eccentricity Measure 2 points by micrometer (Dmax-Dmin)/(Dmax-Dmin)<1.5% [(Dmax-Dmin)/<3%] Kuraray Confidential
Attenuation Length and Light Output (Measurement Method) 2 sample fibers of 3m for every spool Test Fiber (measures every 10 cm) 3m sample fiber Kuraray Confidential
Individual Specifications Attenuation Length Y-11(200) A.L. of all fibers > 3.5 The A.L. of every sample throughout the whole order RMS/Ave =< 10% example:Y-11 1.0D., non-S type with different concentrations Kuraray Confidential
Individual Specifications Light Output The L.O. at the 140cm of every sample throughout the whole order RMS/Ave=<7% The L.O. at the 285cm of every sample throughout the whole order RMS/Ave=<15% Kuraray Confidential
MINOS Measurement Method (A. L. and Light Output) 10m long fiber test apparatus (measure 21 points) All the values of the 21 points of the samples measured >=85% Kuraray Confidential
Bending Loss (Measurement Method) ② ① FC Connector Sample Fiber (3 m) ③ 100φ Black Box 100φdrum 1 turn 2 sample fibers of 3m for every spool ①Halogen Lump House(non monochromated light):ANRITSUGA-922A ②Power Meter:ANRITSU ML910A ③Si-PD detector:ANRITSU MA9802A Kuraray Confidential
Individual Specifications Bending Loss Bending Loss of all the samples=<5% The Minimum bending diameter we recommend on safety side and long term reliability *S type – stronger against cracking, but has 10% shorter A.L. Kuraray Confidential
Production Capacity Kuraray’s capacity of producing 10,000km of 1mm D fiber Current capacity 74 months Equipment capacity 26 months The best we can do 16 months Kuraray Confidential
