Banner Engineering D11EP6FPQ Fiber Optic Amplifier

Banner Engineering D11EP6FPQ Fiber Optic Amplifier is a DIN-rail mounted amplifier in the D11 EXPERT Series designed for plastic fiber optics. It accepts 10–30 V DC power and draws up to 150 mA, delivering a compact, single-discrete output solution via a 2 m, 4-pin Pico QD cable. The unit provides a single SPST PNP output and is compatible with both plastic and glass fiber optics, with performance that depends on fiber length and installation conditions. It supports unterminated plastic fibers or T5 termination, and includes remote teach capability via a dedicated Teach button for quick setup. The housing is thermoplastic and engineered for rugged industrial environments, with IP54 protection and a NEMA 4X rating for added durability. Operating temperature ranges from -10 to 55 C, and humidity tolerance reaches up to 90% at 50 C, making it suitable for general-purpose sensing in challenging environments. This model is not intrinsically safe. Range in diffuse mode is highly fiber-dependent, and opposed-mode configurations may extend range when using appropriate lenses. Overall, the D11EP6FPQ offers a straightforward, configurable fiber optic amplification option for Banner’s plastic fiber systems, enabling reliable detection and signaling in automation applications where a compact, power-efficient amplifier with Teach capability is beneficial.
