When it comes to storage, small and medium businesses have a lot in common with large enterprises. Just like the Fortune 400, they need to ensure that data is backed up, retrievable and secure, and that data access complies with governmental regulations. Unfortunately, if you are a small business owner you also cope with some challenges the big guys don't have, budgets are small and your IT staff, if you even have one, may not have storage-specific expertise.

Specialty optical-fiber provider StockerYale Inc. (Quote) has introduced polymer clad fused silica (quartz) fiber.
Because this fiber provides an excellent conduit for the transmission of UV energy due to its intrinsic properties, the company said it is ideal for high temperature sensors, medical laser delivery systems, high efficiency bundles and arrays, laser welding/soldering, and other applications where UV output must be maximized.
The company's polymer clad silica (PCS) fiber offers a hard coat cladding with a large exit angle and better bend radius to transmit light more efficiently. Fused silica fiber allows 10% more illumination output than glass fiber across the visible range and transmits whiter illumination over extended distances.
The company also stated that because PCS fiber has a high tensile strength that enables it to be more stable and rugged, (versus glass fiber), it is easily integrated into OEM equipment designs. And because of its ability to transmit UV energy very efficiently, it is also ideal for UV curing of adhesives, chemical analysis, and for crack detection using UV-activated dye penetrates and other similar applications.
Because of a proprietary coating process, the company's PCS fiber can be assembled in compact housings that are available in a variety of configurations such as lines, circles, and multiple branches using different protective sheathings, or can be purchased in bulk form. StockerYale's advanced fiber manufacturing facilities and seasoned engineering team can also custom design a fiber to meet a customer's exact specifications.
