Fibre Harnesses
Harnesses comprise one or more tails (or cables) of fibre optics which transmit the light from the light source over a distance.
They are joined together in a connector (common end) and are normally separate at the other end. Harnesses may be terminated at the loose end depending on the type of fibre used.
Glass Fibre Harnesses
Universal Fibre Optics are the ONLY manufacturer of raw fibre for lighting in the United Kingdom.
Glass fibre is most commonly used in its end-emitting configuration to transmit light from the light source to individual points of delivery.

End Terminations
End terminations such as ferrules, flex and stays and shepherds crooks finish the loose ends of multi-stranded fibre.
The type of ferrule or end termination used will depend on the application and the type of end fitting desired.

Polymer Fibre Harnesses
We offer a range of polymer fibre harness options in both end-emitting and side-glow varieties.
End emitting is available in both sheathed and unsheathed configurations and in a number of sizes. We also offer a varied range of sideglow fibre which all output different lighting effects.

Common Ends
The common end is used to bind all the fibre tails together in a single connection, which can then be plugged into a standard sized fitting on a light source.
Available in various sizes, common ends are different for glass and polymer fibre, with those for glass being larger.
