GLASS ASSEMBLIES

Glass Fiber Optic Amplifier Sensor Selection

Most glass fiber optic assemblies are very rugged and perform reliably in extreme temperatures, corrosive or vacuum chamber environments. Glass fiber optic assemblies can transmit both visible and infrared light, where plastic fiber optics can only transmit visible light. Glass fibers that are specially terminated may be used in plastic fiber amplifiers.

Advantages: 

Powerful and very rugged

Can carry infrared light to provide a longer range

Reliable in extreme temperatures and harsh environments

Step 1: Choose a Fiber Type

Fiber optics guide light from the amplifier to a sensing location, or from the sensing location back to the amplifier. Fibers are typically used becuase of space constraints, hostile environments, or lack of power at the sensing location.

Banner has the largest portfolio of fiber optic assemblies in the industry. We have over 1,000 different fibers to meet every space, environment, and sensing requirement.
