RAYTELA™ Plastic Optical Fibers

Product information "RAYTELA™ Plastic Optical Fibers"

Multi Mode, Step Index; 650 nm; Core Diameter 240-2,980 µm; Cladding Diameter 250-3,000 µm; Coating PE, PVC, Polyamide, PP, None; Numerical Aperture 0.46-0.58

Toray Industries' plastic optical fiber products, RAYTELA™, boast highly reliable transmission with low attenuation and excellent noise-resistant characteristics. RAYTELA is a multi mode, step index optical fiber with low loss and high reliability.

Compared to optical fibers with cores made of silica or composite glass, plastic optical fibers (POF) are entirely made of polymer materials. Not only coatings and jackets, but also fiber core and cladding consist of polymers. While showing higher attenuation and lower transmission capacity, plastic optical fibers are less brittle, lightweight, more flexible, easier to handle and very cost-effective.

The polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that makes up the core portion of the RAYTELA fiber uses a clean polymer made with integrated manufacturing from monomer through to fiber production. A special fluorine containing polymer is used for the cladding.

Plastic optical fiber cords, curl cords or cables with PE, PVC, or PP jacket are also available. The cable diameter ranges between 5 and 6 mm. These lines have good resistance to heat, physical determination and chemicals.

Furthermore, light guides with up to 64 fibers, bundled and jacketed for a temperature range up to +105°C are available. They are suitable for light sources of medical devices and display lighting for art objects among others. The portfolio comprises also plastic optical fiber cords for broadband communications and high NA fibers.

Vacuum Interrupters
35 to 450 A RMS; Single Terminal; 28 to 45 kV; Mechanical Life 0.5 to 2 Mio. OperationsJennings Technology’s series of vacuum interrupters handle a wide range of voltage and current interrupt levels, and high-quality and highly reliable interrupters are available for the utility and industrial markets.Current interruption in a vacuum is recognized as the ideal switching technology in the medium voltage range, and it is also applied in high-voltage and low-voltage applications. Excellent switching capabilities and compact design make vacuum interrupters the most economical switching device solutions possible.Jennings vacuum interrupters feature an evacuated ceramic insulating envelope surrounding two contacts, one fixed and one movable. The movable contact is operated from the outside through a metallic bellows. Contacts are typically a copper alloy that is developed for use in AC voltage applications. The end plates are made of stainless steel or copper.With these features, vacuum interrupters can be expected to last the life of the equipment in which they are installed. Their interruption mechanism is independent of the current magnitude, so interruption can normally be anticipated at the first current zero with no restriking, as the dielectric strength of the contact gap recovers more rapidly than the recovery voltage can rise.Vacuum dielectric enables the interrupters’ contacts to be arranged close together, so circuit interruptions can be designed in a smaller envelope. With current interruption occurring in a vacuum, all arcing is confined within the vacuum interrupter body, so Jennings interrupters are noise-free and flash-free, avoid contact contamination as oxides and corrosion layers cannot form in vacuum, and they do not emit any greenhouse or toxic gases.Key Features: Long Life, High Reliability Controlled Contact Erosion Results in Virtually Maintenance-free Operation Fast Interrupting Speed Rapid Dielectric Recovery High Cycle Withstand Voltages Robust, Compact Design Environmentally Friendly Atmospheric Contact Contamination is Eliminated Noise-free and Flash-free Applications: Load Break Switches; Contactors for Industrial and Motor Control; Capacitor Bank Switching; Circuit Breakers; Specialty RF and DC Applications
