Convergent-Beam Fibers

3.0 mm Convergent, 0.5 mm Core, Unterminated Fibers

Printed in USA P/N 51099

Convergent Fiber Features

• Bifurcated 0.5 mm plastic fibers

• Convergent sensing head assembly positions the individual fibers to converge
emitted light 3 mm in front of the assembly; choose straight- or side-exit housing.
