The Allen Bradley 99-501-1 is a robust photoelectric fiber-optic cable specifically engineered to facilitate light transmission. Made from high-quality glass fibers, this cable excels in applications requiring reliable light detection. Its sensing mechanism operates on a transmitted beam mode, providing compatibility with large-aperture fiber-optic sensors, making it an ideal choice for various industrial setups.

This fiber-optic cable has a sheathing material of PVC, which protects the internal components while offering decent flexibility and durability. The sensing tip, crafted from stainless steel, features a threaded axial style, enhancing its adaptability for installation in different environments.

The 99-501-1 is versatile, functioning efficiently with both infrared and visible red light sources. With a field of view typically measuring 82°, it ensures adequate coverage for effective light detection. However, users should note the optical loss, which stands at approximately 6% per foot, so careful consideration of cable length may be necessary for optimal performance.

Additionally, this fiber-optic cable can withstand a maximum operating temperature of 93°C and operates effectively in environments with relative humidity levels ranging from 5% to 95%, provided they are non-condensing. This feature expands its usability in various industrial settings, empowering it to operate in diverse conditions while maintaining reliable performance.
