Losch CuSMA Jumpers are
SMA905-compatible, flexible polymer fiberoptic
cables designed for transferring laser energy
from source to worksite.
The CuSMATM connector with it’s distinctive
copper alloy ferrule and cantilevered fiber
provide unequaled fiber centration and connector
durability. The copper provides an excellent
thermal path to remove heat from overfill,
reflections, and cladding mode energy.
Low OH- and High OH- fluorine-doped silica
clad fiber with the standard 0.22NA (numerical
aperture) are inventoried in core sizes from 100
to 1000 microns. Silica cladding thicknesses
range from 20 to 40 microns for effective
waveguides from the UV to near IR.
Losch uses silica fiber coated with silicone
and nylon for high power applications. The
low-index silicone (1.39) performs as both a
protective coating and secondary waveguide to
channel cladding modes to the output end of the
fiber. Polyimide and Acrylate-coated fiber is
also available for specific applications.
The flexible polymer fiber sheathing consists
of a inner guide tube covered with aramid yarn
strength member and vinyl outer coating. Low-outgassing
polymers are also available if assemblies are to
be AR (anti-reflective) coated.
All Losch CuSMA Cables are
custom-manufactured in all core sizes and
configurations, in any length from 1 to 50
meters. Cables are shipped from 1 to 4 weeks
from date of order, depending on quantity and
scheduling.

connector variations including Keyed SMA and
other parts available for specific requirements.
