Refer to Specification/Order Guide for ordering logic to specify harness make-up.

Note: Stranded plastic can be used with the Cold Coupler on all illuminator models except ILQH-2 and ILQH-3. For use of stranded plastic with ILQH-2 and ILQH-3, specify 30mm Standard Coupler. Stranded plastic end emitting fiber contains the following number of fiber strands per bundle: S36 (12 fibers), S60 (50 fibers) and S96 (75 fibers)
