Glass Fiber Optic Cables
Key Features
- Fiber optic cables allow remote sensing in areas where space is restricted or tight viewing angles are required
- Ideal for high temperature applications up to 480°F (249°C)
- Choose from many styles and lengths to exactly suit your needs
- Use PVC jacket models for most applications, stainless steel for high temperature and harsh environments
- Larger fiber bundle size offers higher excess gain for longer ranges. Small size is useful for sensing extremely small targets

Glass Fiber Optic Cables from Eaton’s electrical sector transmit light through a cable containing a bundle of tiny glass fibers. The cable can curve back and forth through equipment to the target and still transmit light with very little signal loss.
Two cable types are available:
Duplex fibers contain both source and detector fibers intermixed at the cable end for diffuse reflective sensing. One cable is required for sensing. (It is also possible to use this style of cable and a retroreflector for reflex sensing.)
Single fibers are used for thru-beam sensing. Separate cables are needed to carry the source light and the detector light, respectively. Two cables are required for sensing.
