Orange 2.5 mm Replacement Rod Fluorescent Plastic Optical Fiber for Sights
This is a JINSHANG TECH 2.5 mm fluorescent plastic optical fiber that turns ambient light into a bright, high-contrast aiming dot in fiber-optic sights.
Because the optical path is non-conductive, the unit provides electrical isolation between connected equipment and can be routed past motors, drives and power wiring without picking up noise.
Key Characteristics
- Fiber diameter: 0.5mm 0.75mm 1mm 1.5mm 2mm,2.5mm ,3.0mm
- Attenuation rated at ≤350(650nm) over the operating wavelength
- Minimum bend radius: 30mm
- Refractive index figures: 1.49
- Housing/jacket color: Orange,Yellow ,Red ,Green
- Core/fiber material: 1.49
- High-contrast glowing end for a fast, daylight-visible aiming point
- Tough polymer construction resists impact and recoil handling
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for replacement fluorescent rods for existing sights. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can it be cut to length? A: Yes, the rods are cut to the required sight length and finished to sit flush in the sight housing.
Q: Does it need a light source? A: No. Unlike end-glow illumination fiber, fluorescent fiber collects ambient light and glows on its own during daylight use.
Q: Which color and diameter should I pick? A: Colors (red/green/orange) are a visibility preference; diameters typically run 0.5–3.0 mm and must match the sight channel — measure the existing rod when replacing it.
Q: What is fluorescent fiber used for? A: It gathers ambient light along its length and concentrates it at the tip, creating a bright glowing aiming point on fiber-optic sights without a battery.
