Increased Mechanical Reliability

The high fatigue resistance of NuCOMM fibers directly translates into longer life in tough applications where tight bend radii, high shock, fast temperature cycling, and continuous vibration are encountered Nufern employs the best possible fiber draw technology to minimize incipient surface micro-cracking which directly translates into the highest level of fiber reliability Ultra-clean temperature controlled manufacturing spaces facilitate the long term life goals Dependable fiber with higher endurance characteristics for extreme environments
