The HFBR-EUS is made up from plastic fibre optic core that is constructed from a single step index fibre, sheathed in a flame retardant polyethylene jacket.
•
1 mm diameter Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) High performance Extra
Low Loss POF with 0.19 dB/m typical attenuation (-40°C to 85°C).
• Extra Low Loss (Type="E") cables comply with UL
VW-1 flame retardant specification
• Industrial data links for factory automation and plant control
• Intra-system links, board to board and rack to rack
• Telecommunication switching systems
• Propriety LANs
• Digitalised video
• Medical instruments
• High voltage isolation
• Reduction of lighting and voltage transient susceptibility
For maximum light transmission, fibre should be cut squarely with a hot knife and the end polished.
A suitable photodiode that fits this fibre optic can be found in my shop, please see SFH250 in the link below:
