MCL-1500-1 Asahi Kasei PMMA Plastic Optical Fiber for Sensing
MCL-1500-1 MCL-2000-24 is a Asahi Kasei plastic optical fiber for sensor assemblies, valued for passive operation, tight routing and immunity to electrical noise.
JINSHANG TECH supplies the MCL-1500-1 MCL-2000-24 as a production item; fiber diameter, jacketing, connectorization and length can be confirmed against the specification before ordering.
Key Characteristics
- Certified to RoHS,ISO9001
- Outer jacket: PE
- PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) core for high light transmission and low-cost optical links
- Fiber diameter: 2.2mm
- Operating temperature range: -55~80Degree
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Chemically inert polymer tip suitable for damp or corrosive environments
- Withstands vibration and repeated movement on moving carriages and robots
Typical Applications
The MCL-1500-1 MCL-2000-24 is commonly used for through-beam and reflective presence/position sensors in machines. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it affected by motor noise? A: No. Because the signal is light, EMI and RFI from motors, contactors and inverters do not couple into the fiber.
Q: What affects sensing range? A: Fiber diameter, bend radius, head geometry and the amplifier's optical power set the detection distance; larger cores generally collect more light.
Q: Can the sensing end be placed near high voltage? A: The fiber is non-conductive, so the sensing tip carries no electrical potential and is safe in high-voltage areas when the amplifier is mounted remotely.
Q: How is POF used in a sensor? A: Light is launched through the fiber to a sensing head; the returned or interrupted light is measured by a remote amplifier, keeping electronics away from the target.
