Fiber Optic Cables
Custom Fiber Optic Cables for Medical Devices
Our custom fiber optic cables for medical devices and assemblies are specifically designed and manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of medical applications, from robot-assisted screenings and processes to intricate diagnostic imaging. We partner with our customers from the development phase to create customized solutions that seamlessly integrate into your devices, ensuring optimal performance and patient safety.
We offer a wide range of fiber optic cables made of glass (single-mode and multi-mode), plastic (POF), plastic-coated fibers (PCF), and large-core fibers (silica/silica). All fibers can be relied upon to transmit data at high rates over distances long and short in EMI-secure, robust, compact and lightweight configurations and are also available in radiation-resistant versions.
We supply different cable designs for you, from central core cables to breakout cables, customized according to your needs.
What Sets Our Fiber Optic Cables Apart from Conventional Products?
Our custom fiber optic cables for medical devices are engineered to address the unique challenges of the medical field. We specialize in designing and manufacturing high-performance cable assemblies with individual lengths, cable cross-sections, and outer jackets to perfectly fit your device's specifications. These solutions offer major benefits crucial for medical equipment:
- High bandwidth and EMI/RFI immunity: Our cables transmit data at high rates, far surpassing the bandwidth of copper, a critical advantage for high-resolution real-time imaging, xR, or AI-driven applications. They also offer complete immunity to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI & RFI) for maximum signal integrity.
- Optimized mechanical reliability: We offer a wide range of designs, including central core and breakout cables, with specialized jacketing materials that provide high flexibility and resistance to abrasion, flexion, and torsion. This ensures reliable performance even with repetitive motion.
- Individual design options: We provide a variety of materials, including glass (single mode and multimode), plastic (POF), plastic clad fibers (PCF), and large-core fibers (silica/silica), available with features like wipe-clean disinfectibility, biocompatibility (according to USP Class VI and DIN ISO 10993), and UV-resistance.
Below are some of the fixed and optional properties we offer for our custom fiber optic cables for medical devices:
- Lightweight and compact
- Electromagnetically compatible (EMI)
- UL- and CSA-rated
- Radiation-resistant
- Cut-to-length
- Highly flexible, resistant to abrasion, flexion, and torsion up to drag chain use
- Resistant to tensile and/or compression forces
- Resistant to oil and/or chemicals
- UV-resistant
- Disinfectible and/or sterilizable
- Skin-friendly and biocompatible according to USP Class VI and DIN ISO 10993

Complete Quality Control
Insertion loss, return loss, and surface are constantly measured with all our fiber optic cable assemblies. We accurately examine the geometry of the fiber core surface in terms of radial reflection, centricity, and undercut before they leave our production.
All measurement results for each assembly are documented and fully traceable, ensuring complete quality control.
When it comes to the demanding, repetitive motion of modern medical machines, not all fiber optic cables are created equal. BizLink’s custom cable assemblies are specifically engineered for superior mechanical reliability.
We Master the Bottleneck
To meet the growing demand for more compact and hygienic medical devices, BizLink specializes in designing and manufacturing durable hybrid medical cables. Our expertise allows us to combine multiple functionalities—such as power, signal, fiber optics, and fluid or gas lines—into a single, custom-engineered cable. This helps overcome space constraints within complex medical equipment and simplifies cleaning and maintenance by reducing the number of external cables.
