Large-Core PMMA Light-Guide Rod Fiber, 1-10mm Diameter for Medical
Large-core PMMA light-guide stem fiber in 1,2,3,5,8,10mm with special shapes, -55 to +85C, for medical illumination and light-guiding applications.
The large-core PMMA light-guide rod fiber is a solid polymethyl-methacrylate stem optical fiber available in 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 10 mm diameters, with special shapes on request, built to pipe light where a flexible large-core guide is needed.
Product Overview
Unlike thin communication POF, this is a solid large-diameter PMMA rod that carries a broad beam of light from one end to the other. The rods can be straight, bent or formed into special stems and are often sheathed in stainless metal tubing for light-guiding and illumination tasks. The supplier lists an operating range of -55 to +85 °C and a single-conductor large core, aimed at medical light guidance and similar light-transmission jobs.
Key Features
- Large core in 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 10 mm diameters; special shapes available.
- Solid PMMA rod for high light throughput.
- Operating temperature -55 to +85 °C.
- Can be sheathed in stainless tubing for rigid light-guide probes.
- Single large core per rod.

FAQ
Is this a data communication fiber? No — it is a large-core light-guide rod for illumination and light transmission, not a high-speed data link.
Can the rod be bent? Straight rods are standard; formed/bent stems and special shapes are available on request.
What end finishes are used? Rod ends are polished for maximum coupling; metal-sheathed versions are common for rigid probe builds.
