Plastic Fiber Optic Cables
Product Description
Plastic Fiber Optic Cables
from Eaton’s electrical sector
offer a lower-cost alternative
to glass fibers. They are
available as bulk cable or pre-
assembled with sensing tips.
Bulk fiber optic cable is
ordered by the foot and can be
cut to length by the user with a
special cutter accessory. It can
be used with lenses,
adapters and terminations.
Single fiber is normally used
for thru-beam sensing and
duplex fiber (two isolated
cables running in parallel) for
diffuse reflective. Order
single fiber cable for both
source and detector cable
runs. Order duplex fiber cable
equal to the length of run—
separate source and detector
cable not required.
Pre-assembled fiber optic
cables are special purpose
cables to solve a variety of
fiber optic sensing
applications. A fiber optic
cable cutter is included only
for 1 mm bundle models. The
cables are available in 1 mm
and 0.5 mm diameters (0.5
mm cables cannot be cut to
length). Single cable is used
for thru-beam sensing, duplex
for diffuse reflective sensing.
Features
●
Fiber optic cables allow
remote sensing in areas
where space is restricted
or tight viewing angles are
required
●
The economical plastic
cable is easy to cut to
length during installation
for a perfect fit (see cutter
accessory, 0.5 mm cable
cannot be cut)
●
Single cable styles are
ideal for thru-beam sensing
●
Duplex cable styles are
typically used for diffuse
reflective sensing
●
Pre-assembled cables are
available in 0.5 mm for
sensing extremely small
targets
DANGER
THIS SENSOR IS NOT A
SAFETY DEVICE AND IS NOT
INTENDED TO BE USED AS A
SAFETY DEVICE. This sensor
is designed only to detect
and read certain data in an
electronic manner and
perform no use apart from
that, specifically no safety-
related use. This sensor
product does not include
self-checking redundant
circuitry, and the failure of
this sensor product could
cause either an energized
or de-energized output
condition, which could result
in death, serious bodily
injury, or property damage.
