Where to Buy Multi-core Fibers
Multi-core fibers contain multiple optical cores within a single fiber, enabling space division multiplexing (SDM) to significantly enhance data transmission capacity in optical fiber communications. These fibers are crucial for meeting the growing demand for higher bandwidth and data rates.

 Innovation in every fiber University Parkway Chilworth Science Park Southampton SO16 7QQ United Kingdom ISO 9001:2015 |  Multi-core fibers provide a platform for the next generation medical shape sensing, data center transmission cables and temperature/strain sensing. They can be used to dramatically reduce the amount of space required for connecting to photonic integrated circuits, and other applications that require precise alignment of several optical cores in a small space. By combining multiple cores for multiple signals into a single multi-core fiber with a 125 micron diameter, designers have a new capability not offered by single fibers. In addition, the fiber has photosensitive cores, allowing fiber Bragg grating (FBG) inscription into each core. |
 34, Rue de la Croix de Fer 78100 Saint Germain-en-Laye France |  Based on our original telecom experience of making twin core fibers for add/drop multiplexers, Exail (formerly iXblue) in collaboration with Photonics Bretagne is now offering multi-core fibers for shape and temperature/strain sensing. Multi-core fibers can be used in a large variety of sensing application where the need to reduce the global footprint is also required for cables and connectors. Our multi-core fibers have photosensitive cores, allowing Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) inscription, and can be tailored to match the exact customer specifications. |
