The new produts are designed to offer a rugged and cost-effective solution that provides a high degree of flexibility for optical cabling in a wide range of industrial, medical, transportation, renewable energy, smart grid, electrical & hybrid vehicles, consumer, sensors and imaging applications.

Mickaël Marie, European business manager, integrated products division, fibre optic business unit, Molex, says: “Customers are able to specify assemblies and harnesses in terms of connector types, jacket material and colour, temperature range, UL certification, cable lengths and tolerances, numerical aperture, fiber size. Cable assemblies and harnesses terminated by Molex SMI connectors, plus a wide range of connectors from different manufacturers, are also available to answer specific application requirements at a cost-competitive price.”

Molex’s POF cable assemblies and harnesses can withstand harsh environments in temperatures ranging from -55 to 105°C.  In addition, a choice of polymer and metal connectors from a wide range of manufacturers is said to offer excellent Insertion Loss performance, through cost-effective component selection. Colour-coded cable jackets allow engineers to simplify connections in the field or at factory floor.
