Banner Engineering Q45BB6FQ5 Fiber Optic Amplifier

Banner Engineering Q45BB6FQ5 Fiber Optic Amplifier is a rugged glass-fiber version in the Q45 Series, engineered to amplify signals from glass-fiber optic sensors in harsh industrial environments. It uses an infrared 880 nm beam and supports opposed sensing up to 54 in. (1.4 m) with two IT23S fibers or diffuse sensing up to 4 in. (10 cm) with a BT23S fiber, giving flexible installation options for varying targets. The unit operates on a 10 to 30 V DC supply and provides bipolar outputs (NPN/PNP) with up to 250 mA per output, enabling direct control of small loads or interfacing with control logic. A 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect termination is standard for reliable field connections. Built to endure tough shop-floor conditions, the Q45BB6FQ5 carries an IP67-rated housing, making it suitable for wet and dusty environments such as conveyors, packaging lines, and other manufacturing applications where fiber-optic sensing is preferred for precision and resilience. With a fast 2 ms response time, this amplifier delivers prompt sensing and supports the versatility of IT23S fiber heads for opposed configurations or BT23S fiber for diffuse detection, delivering a compact, durable solution for precise, remote sensing in demanding industrial settings.
