3.13 Handling and Installation of Fiber Optics

General Information

This kit is for proper handling and installation of Fiber Optic Cables used in Victor Thermal Dynamics Ultra-Cut

®

automated gas boxes and Gas Control Modules.

Fiber Optic cable is used in place of wire because it offers far superior immunity to electrical noise but it is more

delicate and requires careful handling. With fiber optics, electrical signals are converted to light with a transmit-

ter LED. The light passes down the fiber where it is converted back to an electrical signal at the receiver end. Any

damage to the fiber from sharp bends or pulling that stretches the fiber can reduce it’s ability to transmit light. We

run the fiber inside a hose for most of its length to protect it from abrasion, burning from hot metal or sharp bends

but the ends are exposed and must be handled with care.
