Launch fibers are a family of multimode step-index fibers in an all-silica construction with a operating wavelength from 780nm visible to near IR and can handle peak power delivery approching 1GW/cm2.
Launch fibers are designed with low numerical apertures and are available in a variety of core diameters with a standard 125 μm cladding diameter.
They are coated with a 250μm dual-acrylate buffer, which allows for easy mechanical stripping.
For adverse environments where tight bend radius or high temperatures are required, carbon or polyimide coatings are available. 
Carbon + polyimide may also be layered (fiber / carbon /polyimide) for harsh environments.
All launch fibers can be metalized for hermetic sealing into opto-electronic devices.
