Medical

Fiber optics are essential in healthcare for enabling minimally invasive, precise procedures and providing reliable, high-speed and secure data transmission. Surgical, telemedicine, sensing, control and security applications are all driven by fiber-based cabling and connectivity.
- Fiber enables minimally invasive surgery and imaging -- doctors can view internal organs with high-resolution, real-time images through tiny incisions, leading to faster patient recovery.
- Fiber seamlessly tackles long cable runs -- especially useful for large medical complexes -- without signal degradation from inline boosters, extenders and other failure points.
- Fiber supports the high-bandwidth demands of medical imaging files, cloud computing, machine learning, robotics and AI.
- Fiber is immune to the signal-killing electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference and ground loops common in large facilities with industrial motors and air-handling systems.
- Fiber is also immune to static electricity, surges and lightning strikes, protecting remote connections while acting as an insulator.
- Fiber delivers reduced maintenance and downtime, providing superior reliability over copper-based cables.
- Medical fibers are inert, sterilizable and can be used inside the body.
- Fiber provides a future-forward upgrade path, eliminating the need to redesign network infrastructures and pull new cables to accommodate tomorrow's technology.
For these reasons, fiber-based cables and connectivity products have become a fixture in medical and healthcare designs and integrations. But with so many optical suppliers, why choose Cleerline?
Cables Built for Motion
Robotics and medical devices regularly rely on Cleerline SSF for its strength and durability. Patented Cleerline SSF cables deliver a 2000x greater flex rating, 1500x better impact rating, an industry-leading 2.2mm bend radius and superior pull-strength compared to traditional bend-insensitive fiber. It's the only cable that literally survives being tied in a knot.
Thinner Cables for Tougher Cable Paths
Whether tackling a retrofit with a crowded conduit or trying to accommodate a tight device chassis, Cleerline manufactures the strongest, thinnest cables in the industry. SSF and BendSafe products survive the rigors of fishing through cable-filled pipe and can easily be laced and coiled in tight spaces.
Cables that Survive Cleaning, Chemicals and Harsh Environments
Fiber and fluids don't always mix. Wet and humid conditions cause micro-fractures in optical glass, and over time these fractures will degrade system performance and even render optical cables unusable. The glass-encapsulated-by-polymer construction of Cleerline SSF eliminates water egress, ensuring systems continue to perform reliably. Plus, SSF is rated for extreme temperatures from -75 to 158°F (-60 to 85°C).
Protection Against Glass Shards
Cleerline SSF features a patented glass-encapsulated-by-polymer construction that eliminates glass shards during termination and in the event of accidental breakage. Sensitive environments, including operating rooms and medical suites, won't be compromised if and when cables are damaged.
Uptime for Mission-Critical Systems
Cleerline doesn't just deliver a cable immune to EM interference, RF interference, static, surges and lightning, our patented SSF construction also delivers a cable with a 50+ year life expectancy. Systems commissioned with Cleerline stay commissioned.
Let's face it, medical installations require mission-critical performance -- downtime impacts patient outcomes. Why risk performance issues and product failures when Cleerline delivers the strongest, most durable fiber in the industry.
