LITEflight® EP Fiber Optic Cables

Enhanced Performance

Product Details


The LITEflight® EP (Enhanced Performance) series of aerospace-grade fiber optic cables provides all the performance and benefits necessary to perform in the harsh environments of your aerospace and military applications, but with lower loss, tighter bend radius, improved thermal stability and better handling during termination and installation. Unlike tightly structured cables, the LITEflight® EP semi-loose structured cables are compatible with all commercially available fiber optic termini and connectors. LITEflight® EP is available in multiple sizes, configurations and temperature ratings up to 260 °C in order to meet the most demanding application requirements.

Our in-house integrated engineering teams are ready to take on your greatest challenges.
