Plastic Fiber Optic Amplifier Sensor Selection
Plastic fiber optics usually have a large, monofilament core. Advances in LED technology have improved the performance and range of plastic fiber optic sensing systems to the point that they are nearly equivalent to glass fibers. Plastic fibers are a versatile, cost-effective choice for many fiber optic sensing applications.
Advantages:
- Less expensive
- Allow less signal attenuation
- More flexible
- Survive well under repeated flexing
- Can be cut to length in the field
- Can be routed into extremely tight areas
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.

Fiber Optics by Application
The amplifier emits, receives, and converts the light energy into an electrical signal. Since the fiber amplifier is a separate unit from the fibers, it can be mounted and powered remotely.
