Glass Fiber Optics Fiber Systems Glass Fiber Optics • Banner glass fibers solve numerous challenging sensing requirements including the most hostile environments such as high temperatures up to 480°C, corrosive materials and extreme moisture. • Due to low mass of the fibers, glass fibers can PHOTOELECTRICS withstand high levels of shock and vibration; they are also immune to extreme electrical noise, • Glass fibers are constructed of a combination of optical glass fiber, stainless steel, PVC, brass, molded thermoplastics, and optical grade epoxy.
