UV LED curing systems make it possible to produce high-performing fiber optic cables in a more energy efficient way, while lasting for longer and producing fewer harmful byproducts. Find out more about the economic and performance benefits of this sustainable technology.
UV LED cure: leading the way in fiber optic coatings
Over the past 20 years, the global fiber optic cable market has grown by an average of 12% every year. How do manufacturers around the world deliver higher-performance end-products while continually improving the efficiency of their manufacturing practices? One answer is UV LED (ultraviolet-light-emitting diode) cure. This coating technology helps minimize the environmental impacts of fiber optic cable production processes by replacing the conventional, energy-hungry curing systems used for fiber optic cable coatings with UV cure.

Striving for a carbon-free future
If we replaced all the traditional microwave UV lamps in the world with UV LED lamps, it would cut carbon emissions by more than 35%.
Saving energy
UV LED lamps have the potential to significantly decrease energy consumption compared to traditional microwave curing lamps.
Saving money
UV LED curing systems can reduce the production cost of optical fiber thanks to their long life, low noise, and ease- of maintenance.
Saving the environment
UV LED lamps further benefit health and the environment because they do not contain mercury, and do not generate ozone – both can be harmful if not properly controlled.
