Optical fibre PBT415U, plastic, diffuse, bifurcated, M6 tip, Ø1 mm, 5 m

PBT415U is a Banner bifurcated plastic fibre for diffuse mode with an M6 threaded sensing tip. One sensing end both emits and receives light; the two control ends go to the emitter and receiver of the sensor.

• Range: DF-G1 180 mm, D10D 250 mm, D10B 85 mm, D10A 72 mm
• Fibre: Ø1 mm, length 5 m, unterminated
• Tip: M6 threaded
• Material: acrylic (PMMA) core, black polyethylene jacket, nickel-plated brass tip
• Bend radius: at least 25 mm
• Temperature: -30...+70 °C

The control ends are unterminated and are cut to length with the PFC-4 cutter supplied with the fibre. The acrylic core is damaged by acids, strong alkalis and solvents; Banner recommends plastic fibres for visible-light sensors only.
