Overview
The Banner IA1.53PMTA fiber optic cable is a high-reliability sensing component for industrial automation and process control systems. This Banner IA1.53PMTA cable combines glass fiber construction with angle-beam design to deliver stable signal transmission in demanding factory environments. Part number 20085, it serves applications requiring opposed-mode light detection and clean signal delivery across sensor-to-controller distances.
Key Features
- Glass Fiber Optics — superior signal clarity and immunity to electrical noise in EMI-heavy plant floors
- Opposed Mode Sensing — transmitter and receiver on opposite ends detect blocked-beam transitions reliably
- Right-Angle Beam Exit — 90° deflection for flush-mount or edge-detection applications
- Stainless Steel Sheath — corrosion-resistant construction for washdown and wet environments
- 2.3 mm Fiber Core — precise light bundling for consistent range and detection reliability
- Round Housing — compact form factor integrates into tight sensor assemblies
