AutomationDirect CF-DB2-20 Industrial Control Module

CF-DB2-20 is AutomationDirect’s diffuse optical fiber assembly that extends diffuse-reflection sensing with a plastic fiber and a 260 mm sensing distance on a 2 m cable. The unit features an M6 head crafted from nickel-plated brass and a polyethylene jacket designed for durability in industrial environments. This cuttable fiber is intended as a sensing accessory for AutomationDirect photoelectric systems, enabling flexible routing to reach targets in tight spaces while maintaining a diffuse sensing modality along the fiber. The kit includes a fiber cutter and mounting hardware for straightforward installation. It carries UL listing (File # E328811), RoHS status No, and is documented as originating in Switzerland. Typical applications include extending the sensing reach for object presence or proximity in confined enclosures, and bridging the gap between an emitter and receiver where direct fiber placement would be impractical, thereby enabling long, flexible runs in automated equipment.
