Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi AFGD05 Fibre Optic Cable?

The Carlo Gavazzi AFGD05 is a glass fibre optic cable accessory designed for photoelectric sensing applications where the optical detection point needs to be positioned remotely from the associated sensor amplifier. Its fibre-optic construction makes it particularly useful for sensing in confined machine areas where installing a conventional photoelectric sensor body directly at the target is impractical.

The AFGD05 uses 1 mm glass optical fibre and is configured for diffuse-reflective sensing. In this arrangement, transmitted light is directed towards the target and reflected light is returned through the fibre assembly to compatible sensing electronics, enabling non-contact detection without requiring a separate receiver opposite the target.

As a passive fibre-optic accessory, the AFGD05 requires no electrical supply at the remote sensing point. Its glass-fibre construction provides a compact optical path for industrial detection applications and allows the associated photoelectric electronics to be installed away from the immediate target area.

Key Advantages

• Glass fibre optic construction provides remote optical sensing capability.
• 1 mm fibre supports compact sensing installations.
• Diffuse-reflective configuration allows object detection from one side of the target area.
• Does not require a separate receiving fibre head opposite the target.
• Allows the electronic sensor or amplifier to be positioned away from confined sensing locations.
• Passive optical construction requires no electrical power at the fibre sensing point.
• Non-contact optical detection avoids mechanical sensing wear.
• Suitable for compact industrial machinery and automated equipment.

Reliable Diffuse-Reflective Fibre-Optic Detection

The Carlo Gavazzi AFGD05 is designed to carry light between compatible photoelectric sensing electronics and a remote detection point. In a diffuse-reflective sensing arrangement, light emitted through the fibre is directed towards the object being detected, and a portion of the light reflected by that object is returned through the fibre system for evaluation by the connected sensor electronics.

Because both transmission and reflected-light detection take place from the same side of the target, diffuse-reflective fibre sensing can simplify installations where access to the opposite side of an object is unavailable. The compact 1 mm glass fibre also allows the optical sensing point to be positioned in areas where a conventional photoelectric sensor body would be too large or difficult to install.
