Outstanding Benefits

Specifications…

…for flexible fiber optic data cable. The SCHOTT data cable is designed for use

in vehicles and fulfills all requirements outlined in the EU directive 2000/53/EC

(“End of life vehicles”). Depending on the jacket material the cable can be used

in areas with ambient temperatures up to 150 °C.

This temperature resistance together with the properties of resistance against

aggressive media and high flexibility make applications in the engine compartment

or chassis/body possible. As the SCHOTT data cable is a multicore fiber it is

particularly suitable for safety applications.

■ Highest temperature resistance

up to 350 °C■ Minimum long term bending radius

…and rigid fiber optics components. SCHOTT’s rigid fiber optic components

provide the following properties:

■ Temperature resistance up

to 125 °C/150 °C *

■ Low bending radius down

to 5 mm

■ Multicore fiber bundle with

1 mm diameter■ Capability of transferring high

data rates

■ Minimum component size■ Optimum optical transfer

characteristics

Cable specification

SCHOTT has specially designed its light conducting cable for automobile lighting

applications. It fulfills all requirements outlined in the EU directive 2000/53/EC

(“End of life vehicles”).

The lighting systems make it possible to separate the light source spatially from

the light output. Thus you can create high-performance illumination in difficult

restricted spaces.

The use of rigid fiber optic components offers additional solutions for illu-

mination applications.

■ Temperature resistance up to 150 °C■ Customized cable diameter

of 1 to 6 mm

■ High transmission■ Bending radius up to 25 mm with

a bundle diameter of 4.2 mm
