PGU-CD1501-28 Toray PMMA End-Glow Fiber Optic Cable for Decorative Lighting
The PGU-CD1501-28 is a Toray PMMA end-glow plastic optical fiber (POF) that carries light along a transparent polymer core, used as the light-distribution strand in industrial optical applications.
Because the optical path is non-conductive, the PGU-CD1501-28 provides electrical isolation between connected equipment and can be routed past motors, drives and power wiring without picking up noise.
Key Characteristics
- Attenuation rated at ≤0.2 over the operating wavelength
- Operating temperature range: -55~80Degree
- IP68 ingress protection for damp or wash-down environments
- Certified to ISO9001, RoHS, CE
- Fully dielectric light path: the fiber itself carries no electricity, heat or UV at the illuminated end
- Flexible and easy to route around curves without the breakage risk of glass fiber
Typical Applications
The PGU-CD1501-28 is commonly used for star ceilings and starry-sky panels in hotels, KTV rooms, home theaters and bedrooms, fiber curtains, screens, waterfalls and large-area luminous displays, and luminous furniture, home textiles and wearable or fabric-embedded lighting. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What core diameter should I choose? A: Smaller diameters (0.25–0.75 mm) give fine, dense star points, while 1.0–3.0 mm strands produce brighter points over longer runs. Match the diameter to your illuminator and desired star density.
Q: Does it emit UV or heat? A: Virtually no UV or IR reaches the end points, which helps protect sensitive fabrics and artwork and makes the fiber comfortable to touch.
Q: Is the fiber safe near water or in a ceiling? A: Yes. The fiber itself carries no electricity and stays cool at the emitting end, so it is suitable for wet areas and occupied spaces when paired with a remotely located light source.
Q: What is end-glow PMMA fiber used for? A: End-glow PMMA fiber transmits light from a remote illuminator to the end of each strand, producing pin-points of light used for star ceilings, curtains, furniture and architectural decoration.
