Toray PMMA End-Glow Fiber Optic Cable for Decorative Lighting
This end-glow POF from Toray is a polymer light-guide fiber that emits light at the far end, engineered for industrial optical applications.
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: 1.0mm
- 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
- Outer jacket: 2.2
- High numerical aperture gives strong light-gathering and simple coupling to LED illuminators
- Works with standard LED/halogen fiber illuminators and remote light sources
Typical Applications
The unit 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: 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: How is it cut and installed? A: The POF is cut with a sharp fiber cutter and bundled into the illuminator chuck; no fusion splicing or electrical work is needed at the lit end.
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 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.
