SH2001 Mitsubishi ESKA POF Data Cable for Point-to-Point Optical Links
SH2001 SH1001 SH2001-1.25 identifies a Mitsubishi plastic optical data cable that combines large-core alignment tolerance with electromagnetic immunity for short-range networks.
JINSHANG TECH supplies the SH2001 SH1001 SH2001-1.25 as a production item; fiber diameter, jacketing, connectorization and length can be confirmed against the specification before ordering.
Key Characteristics
- Certified to ISO9001, RoHS,
- Housing/jacket color: Black, Polyethylene
- Core/fiber material: 1.0mm&2.0mm
- Fluorinated-polymer cladding (specified as Fluorinated Polymer) for efficient total internal reflection
- Fiber diameter: 1.0mm&2.0mm
- Numerical aperture of 0.5 for high coupling efficiency and relaxed alignment tolerance
- Low system cost with visible-red/650 nm transceivers and easy fault tracing
- Suitable for short-reach, high-availability links in equipment and building networks
Typical Applications
The SH2001 SH1001 SH2001-1.25 is commonly used for industrial point-to-point links between PLCs, drives, sensors and controllers, factory automation and equipment where EMI from motors and inverters is present, and short-range consumer and appliance data networks. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why choose POF instead of copper for data? A: POF provides complete electrical isolation and is immune to EMI, so links remain stable near variable-frequency drives and motors without grounding or shielding concerns.
Q: Can it be used in moving equipment? A: Yes. The polymer core and flexible jacket resist vibration and repeated flexing better than glass, making it suitable for machinery and light-motion applications.
Q: Is POF data cable hard to terminate? A: No. Its large core tolerates alignment, and simple cutting/crimping tools are used — no laser safety training or fusion splicer is required.
Q: What distance and bandwidth does POF data cable support? A: Plastic optical fiber is aimed at short-range links (typically within a room, cabinet or machine). Exact bandwidth/length follows the grade (e.g. SH/GH/LH/MH series) and the transceiver wavelength; consult the grade specification for your bit rate.
