Orange 3 mm Optical Sight Fluorescent Plastic Optical Fiber for Sights
This is a JINSHANG TECH 0.5 mm/0.7 mm/1 mm/1.5 mm fluorescent (light-gathering) plastic optical fiber that collects ambient light along its length and re-emits it at the ends — the bright sight-insert rod used 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
- Refractive index figures: 1.49
- Housing/jacket color: Orange,Yellow ,Red ,Green
- Core/fiber material: 1.49
- 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
- Tough polymer construction resists impact and recoil handling
- High-contrast glowing end for a fast, daylight-visible aiming point
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for front and rear fiber-optic pistol/rifle sights. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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: 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: 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.
