Optical Fibers
Robust, complete solutions for secure signal transmission.
The optical fiber is temperature-resistant up to 400 °C and is protected against water, dust, acid, and temperature by a flexible, robust cable with a steel braid and silicone sheath.
Optical Fiber Systems
A standard optical fiber system consists of a probe, the optical fiber cable, and the optoelectronic sensor (O/E converter).
Due to its high temperature resistance and insensitivity to vibrations, the use of an optical fiber is ideal when cooling is not possible and the sensors must be protected from vibrations.
The optical fiber has a temperature resistance of up to 400 °C.
Glass Fibers with Robust Cables
The glass fibers are encased in a flexible and robust cable featuring a steel braid and a silicone sheath.
This design protects the optical fiber against water, dust, as well as acid and temperature.
Optical fibers are available for all sensors and spectral ranges. The lengths of the optical fibers depend on the local conditions and are determined in collaboration with the customer.
