An excellent option where sensing must be accomplished in tight, inaccessible or
volatile areas. Withstands vibration and shock; immune to electrical noise. Glass
fibers withstand high temperatures, extreme moisture and corrosive materials.
Not recommended for applications requiring bending or repeated flexing of fibers.
Compatible with most Banner plastic fiber optic assemblies. Excellent option for sensing in tight,
inaccessible or volatile areas. Withstands vibration and shock; immune to electrical noise.
Functions well at temperatures between -30° and +70°C (-20° and +158°F), withstands repeated
flexing. Most are easy to shorten in the field. Not recommended for severe environments.
