Shop fibre optic cables

The fibre optic cable (LWL) represents a secure solution for reliably transmitting data in machines and systems. As an alternative to bus cables, fibre optic cables are excellently suited because they can be used for any bus system, which means that the cables do not have to be replaced with new bus systems. We have three fibre types in our portfolio for industrial data communication, which can be used regardless of the type of field bus used: single mode, multimode and plastic fibres (POF). All LWL fibres are specially developed and tested for mechanical continuous movement. chainflex® fibre optics enable transmission lengths of several 100 meters and are characterized by maximum EMC protection for the data to be transmitted. Our fibre optic cables can be used for bending radii in the energy chain of up to 5 x d and are made of the following jacket materials: PVC, PUR or TPE.

Fibre Optic Cable

The chainflex® fibre optic cables as gradient fibre glass cables, POF (polymeric optical fibre) and HCS (hard clad silica optical fibre) provide the smallest mechanical bending radii for the application in energy chains.
They are free of metals and resistant to oils and coolants Depending on the fibre optic cable family, they can be used in torsion applications, for severe climatic conditions, narrow radii or very long travel distances, and at high speeds and accelerations. Tested in the igus® laboratory with millions of cycles in e-chains®, they provide guaranteed safety against failure.

  • Bending radii up to 5xd
  • Jacket materials: PVC, PUR or TPE
