FIBERSYSTEM 8000 - Linear Heat
Series
Terminating the Sensor Cable
measurement distance, we recommend excess cable of 20 m and
a proper fiber termination (for low back reflection).
This can be achieved by ending the cable with a clean angled
E2000 connector.
Acceptable alternatives are
winding at least 5 loops with diameter smaller than 5 mm
polishing an angle or cleaving of more than 14° to the cable
end (and cleaning)
immersing the (clean) end of the cable in index matching fluid
any combination of winding, polishing and immersing
according to this discribtion here.
Note: To terminate the sensor cable by polishing or immersing, a
clean cable end is necassary.
