Tri-Tronics BF-K-36T Glass Fiber Optic Cable

Description:

The TRI-TRONICS BF-K-36T Glass Fiber Optic Cable is used in industrial photoelectric sensing systems to transmit light between a remote photoelectric sensor and the sensing point for accurate object detection. Commonly installed on packaging machinery, conveyor systems, electronics assembly equipment, pharmaceutical machinery, and automated production lines where compact, high-performance fiber optic sensing is required. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this light guide for sensor replacement, machine repairs, automation upgrades, and preventive maintenance.

Applications:

The TRI-TRONICS BF-K-36T fiber optic light guide is commonly used with TRI-TRONICS SMARTEYE photoelectric sensors in packaging equipment, bottling lines, food processing systems, material handling equipment, and electronics manufacturing. Its bifurcated rectangular glass fiber bundle, threaded sensing tip, and stainless steel armored jacket provide reliable light transmission while withstanding harsh industrial environments.
