Plastic Fiber-Optic Cables

Plas­tic fiber-​optic cables are used where space or am­bient condi­tions res­trict the use of conven­tio­nal op­ti­cal de­vices. They en­able even the smal­lest ob­jects to be de­tec­ted in confi­ned and hard-​to-reach spaces. Plas­tic fiber-​optic cables have the ad­van­tage that they are very flexible due to the ma­te­rial used, mea­ning that they can also be used with ex­tre­me­ly small ben­ding radii.
