Plastic Fiber Optics
Provide an economical alternative to glass fiber optics for piping photoelectric
sensing light to and from confined areas with suitable environments
• Ideal for detecting small objects
• Withstand repeated flexing and bending
• Available in individual or bifurcated styles*
Available with optional DURA-BEND fibers for improved flexibility in
difficult-to-access locations, without the decreased performance to which
excessively bent standard plastic fibers optics are prone
• Available with core diameters of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.5 mm
* All individual plastic fiber optics are sold and used in pairs. Bifurcated fibers are two-way fibers with a single sensing end that both emits and receives light and
with dual-control sensor ends that attach separately to the sensor’s LED and photodetector.
** Plastic fibers with “U” in the suffix of the model numbers have unterminated control ends; cut them to the required length using the supplied cutter.

Plastic Fiber Optics Specifi cations
Construction Optical Fiber: acrylic (PMMA) mono lament, except as noted
Protective Jacket: black polyethylene, except as noted
Threaded End Tips and Hardware: nickel-plated brass, except as noted
Probe End Tips: annealed (bendable) 304 stainless steel
Angled End tips: hardened 304 stainless steel
Ferrule End Tips: 303 stainless steel
Sensing Range Refer to the speci c  ber optic/sensor combination
Implied Dimensional
Tolerance
All dimensions are in millimeters: x = ±2.5 mm, x.x = ±0.25 mm and x.xx = ±0.12 mm, unless speci ed.
“L” = ±40 mm per meter
Minimum Bend Radius 8 mm for 0.25 mm diameter  bers
12 mm for 0.5 mm diameter  bers (except DURA-BEND)
25 mm for 1.0 mm diameter  bers (except DURA-BEND)
38 mm for 1.5 mm diameter  bers
Repeat Bending/Flexing Life expectancy of plastic  ber optic cable is in excess of one million cycles at bend radii of no less than the minimum and a bend of 90°
or less. Avoid stress at the point where the cable enters the sensor (“control end”) and at the sensing end tip. Coiled plastic  ber optic
assemblies are recommended for any application requiring reciprocating  ber motion.
Chemical Resistance The acrylic core of the mono lament optical  ber will be damaged by contact with acids, strong bases (alkalis) and solvents. The
polyethylene jacket will protect the  ber from most chemical environments. However, materials may migrate through the jacket with long
term exposure. Samples of  ber optic material are available from Banner for testing and evaluation.
Temperature Extremes Temperatures below -30° C will cause embrittlement of the plastic materials but will not cause transmission loss. Temperatures above
+70° C will cause both transmission loss and  ber shrinkage.
Operating Temperature -30° to +70° C, unless otherwise specified

Plastic  ber assemblies with “U” in the suf x of the model numbers have unterminated control ends (the end that is coupled to
the photoelectric sensor). The customer can cut these  ber optic assemblies to the required length using the supplied cutter.
Use only the supplied cutter to ensure optimal light coupling ef ciency.
Terminated plastic  ber assemblies are optically ground and polished and cannot be shortened, spliced or otherwise modi ed.
Do not subject the plastic  bers to sharp bends, pinching, high tensile loads or high levels of radiation.
When ordering  ber lengths in excess of 2 m, take into account light signal attenuation due to the additional length.
Due to their light transmission properties, plastic  ber optics are recommended for use only with visible light  ber optic sensors.
Use caution when applying  ber optics in hazardous locations. Although  ber optic assemblies are, by themselves, intrinsically
safe, the sensor and associated electronics must be LOCATED IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. Alternatively,  ber optics may be
used with NAMUR sensor model Q45AD9FP (page 196). Fiber optics do not necessarily provide a hermetic seal between a
hazardous environment and the safe environment.

Fiber Cutters
PFK20 For use with 0.25 and 0.5 mm
diameter cables. These kits are used with unterminated
plastic fiber cables.
Each kit contains 40 bushings and
10 cutter assemblies (cutters can be
purchased separately in packages of
25 - reference model PFC-2-25).
NOTE: Bushings used with Q45, OMNI-BEAM,
ECONO-BEAM, MAXI-BEAM and
VALU-BEAM sensors only.
PFK40 For use with 1 and 1.5 mm
diameter cables.
Plastic Fiber
Field-Installable Sheathing
PFS69S6T
May be used with bifurcated fiber
assemblies having M6 x 0.75
threaded end tips (e.g., PBCT46U,
PBP46U, PBT46UHT1 and
PBT66U).
Stainless steel sheathing with stainless
steel end fittings (one end internally
threaded to capture fiber end tips,
other end non-threaded) is used
in applications where protection is
required for plastic fiber optic cables.
All models listed are 1.8 m in length.
Other lengths are available by
contacting Banner Applications
Department.
PFS53S6T
May be used with individual
or bifurcated fiber assemblies
having M4 x 0.7 threaded end
tips (e.g., PBCT26U, PBPF26U,
PIP46U, PIT46U and PIT66U).
PFS44S6T
May be used with individual fiber
assemblies having M3 x 0.5
threaded end tips (e.g., PIP26U,
PIT26U and PIT1X46U).
Plastic Fiber Adapters
UPFA-1-100
Use to adapt plastic fiber optic
cables with outside jacket
diameter of 1.0 mm, such as
PIT26U and PBP16U.
Compression fitting adapters are used
with small-diameter unterminated plastic
fiber cables.
Use when interfacing small-diameter
plastic fibers to D10, D11, D12, QM42,
QS18, R55F, FI22 and MINI-BEAM
plastic fiber sensor families.
Each kit contains 100 pairs of adapters.
One pair will interface either one
bifurcated fiber optic cable or a pair
of individual cables to a fiber optic
amplifier.
Fiber end
Adapter
UPFA-2-100
Use to adapt plastic fiber optic
cables with outside jacket
diameter of 1.25 mm or
1.3 mm, such as PBCT26U and
PBF46UM3MJ1.3.
