What is Fiber Optic Cable?
There are two types of Super Vision cable:
SideGlow® and EndGlow®.
Patented SideGlow® cable is a side [light]
emitting cable composed of several individual
strands of PMMA acr ylic fibers (also referred
to as “plastic fiber optic” ) covered by a clear
PVC coating. SideGlow® is available in a wide
range of diameters and in several models.
The fiber strands inside the cable are twisted
around a reflective center core.
EndGlow® cable is an end [light] emitting
cable that uses the same PMMA acr ylic strands
as Sideglow® except it is covered in an opaque
black or white PVC jacket.
EndPoint fiber is the “raw” fiber sold in individual
s trands by the spool. Light emits pr imar ily
from the end, however light can be obser ved
emitting from the side as well. Super Vision
offers many fixtures or light outlet that attach
to the end of the cable providing both a
mounting system for the cable fixture and a
decorative of functional lighting system.
Why use Fiber Optic Cable?
Fiber optic cable is an excellent alternative to
neon and other traditional lighting products
but without any electricity in the cable itself.
By using a color filter or color wheel in the
illuminator, the cable, fiber ends or fixtures can
change color. the cable emits little or no heat
making ideal for application where electricity
heat is a concern such as wine racks, display
cases, in or around water. Fiber optic cable is
energy efficient. Our most popular illuminator
uses only a 150 W lamp.
