Bulk Supply of PMMA Fibre on Reels

  1. Home
  2. Sheathed PMMA Fibre

Sheathed PMMA end lit fibre is available in either single or multi-strand configuration and is supplied on plastic reels.

Our PMMA fibre products are manufactured from either Mitsubishi / ESKA or Toray Raytela raw fibre which are then sheathed in-house by UFO.

This product is supplied in either single strand or multi-strand configurations. Single strand variants come with active diameters of 0.75mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm or 2.0mm, whilst multi-strand is manufactured from multiple strands of 0.75mm fibre to produce larger diameter products.

Our PMMA fibre products are manufactured from either Mitsubishi/ESKA or Toray Raytela raw fibre.
These can be used for many lighting applications and we supply many manufacturers of fibre optic lighting with standard and custom fibre configurations.
Pricing is dependant on shipping quantity - please contact us for details. Minimum order quantity for this product is one reel.

Product Datasheet

Fibre Specifications - Mitsubishi/Eska Fibre

Core material Polymethyl Methacrylate
Cladding material Fluorinated Polymer
Sheathing Material Megolon S540 is a thermoplastic, halogen free cable sheathing compound which exhibits an excellent level of fire retardancy. This product is specifically aimed at designs of cables requiring a good degree of flexibility and the ability to meet the more stringent fire test specifications.
Core Refractive index 1.49
Refractive index profile Step index
Numerical aperture 0.5
Operation temperature range -55°C to +70°C in low humidity; <60°C at 95% RH (attenuation change is within 10% after 1000 hours except for that due to absorbed water). Please note that fibre can become brittle at lower temperatures.
S540 Toxicity Index (DEF STAN 02-713) 0.4
S540 Halogen Acid Gas Evolution (IEC 60754-1) Zero
S540 Flammability Temperature Index (ISO 4589-3) 330°C
