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.
