Diverse Line-Up of Fiber Optic Cables

Autonics offers a diverse line-up of fiber optic cables to suit detection requirements in a wide range of applications. The FD/FT/FL/GD/GT series fiber optic cables are available in various head types (thread, cylindrical, flat, perpendicular, plastic, area detection), sensing methods (through-beam, diffuse reflective, convergent reflective), cable types (standard, flexible, coaxial, break-resistant, heat-resistant) and sensing directions (flat, top, side, etc.).

FD/FT/FL/GD/GT Features

* New: Area Detection Fiber Optic Cables Available (Beam Width: 11mm)

1 Six Cable Head Types Available

• Area Detection Type (NEW)

• Perpendicular Type
