OPTICAL FIBER CABLES
SH6001 Mitsubishi ESKA POF Data Cable for Point-to-Point Optical Links
SH6001 SH6001-2.2 SH6002 jacketed PMMA plastic optical fiber data cable for EMI-immune point-to-point links. Large-core, easy-to-terminate POF for industrial and consumer networks.
SH6001 Mitsubishi ESKA POF Data Cable for Point-to-Point Optical Links
SH6001 SH6001-2.2 SH6002 is a Mitsubishi graded PMMA/POF communications cable engineered for high-bandwidth, easy-to-terminate optical links in industrial and consumer networks.
Manufactured for production use rather than as a one-off sample, the SH6001 SH6001-2.2 SH6002 is built to a stable fiber specification so orders can be repeated with consistent dimensions and performance.
Key Characteristics
- Simpler, lower-cost tooling than glass fiber — no fusion splicer required
- Large polymer core tolerates modest alignment, so termination is fast without high-precision cleaving
- Light weight with good flexibility and vibration resistance for moving machinery
- Suitable for short-reach, high-availability links in equipment and building networks
- Immune to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference from motors, drives and inverters
- Tough PE/PVC jacket resists abrasion and handles repeated flexing
- Low system cost with visible-red/650 nm transceivers and easy fault tracing
- No electrical continuity between nodes, providing galvanic isolation and spark-free links
Typical Applications
The SH6001 SH6001-2.2 SH6002 is commonly used for industrial point-to-point links between PLCs, drives, sensors and controllers. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
