Reliable and Efficient Transmission of High Laser Powers
These efficient high-performance fiber cables support power levels of 200 W (@ 200 µm) to 450 W and more, depending on the fiber diameter. They can be used for almost the entire optical wavelength spectrum (300-1900 nm) and are therefore ideally designed for many different industrial applications such as laser cutting, welding, cleaning and soldering. Across all these areas, they deliver excellent beam quality. Their bare-fiber design completely eliminates adhesives, preventing the fibers from burning off and ensuring maximum durability. The modular design supports both active and passive cooling, making it suitable for a wide range of energy and thermal management requirements.
Modular system for efficient heat management
Depending on the application, the cables are available with active or passive cooling. The innovative water cooling system of the active version ensures optimum heat dissipation for high-performance applications. The heat generated in the fiber is dissipated via a heat sink made of stainless steel or copper. Distilled water flows around this element, keeping the operating temperature evenly at up to 35 °C. Around 30 liters of water flow through the cooling device every hour, preventing the fiber from overheating and thus extending its service life. The ideal solution for demanding industrial laser processes. The passive version without water cooling offers a reliable, cost-effective alternative for laser outputs of up to 130 W (60 W @200 µm).
ModeStrip technology prevents dangerous cladding modes
LASER COMPONENTS’ own ModeStrip technology prevents the build-up of disruptive cladding modes occur, thus offering long-term protection against thermal damage and improved beam stability. Both cable variants are optionally equipped with SMA or D80 connectors.

FAQs
What you should know
What is the maximum power handling of the high-power fiber cables?
The maximum power depends on the fiber diameter. For 200 µm-fibers, the maximum power of the active, water-cooled version is at 200 W while the passive version can handle up to 60 W. These limits can be exceeded using larger fiber diameters.
What wavelength range do high-power fiber cables support?
Depending on the fiber, you can use the water-cooled fiber cables for virtually any wavelength from ultraviolet (300 nm) to infrared (1900 nm). This makes it a versatile and piece of equipment for a wide range of industrial applications.
What applications do the high-power fiber cables support?
Our cooled fiber cables are designed for high-power industrial applications such as laser cutting, welding, cleaning, and soldering. Its use ensures both high precision and efficiency in these industrial environments.
How do high-power fiber cables work?
There are three technologies that help these cables deliver their exceptional results:
- ModeStrip Technology makes sure that disturbing and dangerous cladding waves are filtered out. It increases the life span of a fiber and prevent it from burning.
- A heat sink made of stainless steel or copper collects heat from the fiber and dissipates it into the surrounding air. This helps the cables deliver powers up to 130 W.
- In the active version, a water-cooling jacket is situated around the cooling element. Each hour, 30 liters of distilled water flow around the cooling element and add additional cooling potential to allow laser powers of 200 W and more depending on the fiber diameter.
What is the main advantage of an adhesive-free bare fiber design?
An adhesive-free bare fiber design enhances safety by eliminating flammable adhesives and increases durability by preventing thermal degradation. It also improves heat dissipation, ensures higher optical performance, resulting in a more reliable and long-lasting solution for high-power laser applications.
