5.1 Sleeving material
For different applications we can offer different sleeving material. Standard all of our fiber optic
cables and bifurcated cables are protected by a Kevlar reinforced polypropylene inner tubing with
PVC red outer jacket. All of our reflection probes are standard protected by a flexible chrome-
plated brass outer tube, with hooked profile for optimal strain relief with silicon or PTFE inner
tubing. For waterproof and some medical applications stainless steel spiral tubing with glassilk and
gray outer silicon rubber coating can be provided. Inside this tubing silicon or PTFE inner tubing is
used as well. Especially for small, flexible, endoscopic probes we use a PVC rubber sleeving. Some
specifics on the sleevings can be found in the following technical information.
Standard - Kevlar reinforced PVC
ME - Chrome plated brass
MS - Silicon coated stainless steel
