- Unique patented fibre optic cable
- Specially formulated to distribute light over a
required length
- Distributes light evenly over lengths of 0.5m to
6m
- Operated by LED light source at one or two ends
of fibre
- Range of diameters available from 4.5mm to 30mm
HOW
IT WORKS…
Poly Optics super side lit fibre optic cable is formulated
with a patented light dispersion polymer which is uniformly
distributed through the optic core.
Super
side light optic fibre can be manufactured with different
concentrations of this dispersion polymer, allowing
light to be distributed evenly over different specified
lengths for different applications.
1. Mechanical Characteristics:
- Optical Core Composition: Solid optical gel core
made from optically pure case acrylic monomers, including
MMA, to ensure flexibility, and superior light transmission.
- Cladding Composition: The optical core is clad in
a sheath of clear Teflon.
- Bend Radius: Less than 6x diameter.
- Spool length: 500 or 1000 ft
- Optic Sizes Available:

HOW
TO ORDER…
- Choose diameter that best suits your application
- Select concentration required according to length
of fibre
Example:
7mm
diameter fibre = Poly 70
Distance required = 2.5 metres with LED at each end
Therefore concentration required = SS 80
Therefore you would order Poly 70 SS 80
