PANTRONFOI SeriesGlass Fiber Optic Cable

FOI-40V70-C9/6-x

The FOI series extends the usable temperature range of Pantron sensor heads and compact opto sensors by moving the optical path into harsher zones while keeping the main sensor in a more protected position. This page is focused on the stainless-coated FOI-40V70-C9/6-x variant with a cable end diameter of 6 mm.

Key Features

Fiber optic cable for extended temperature range of sensor heads and compact opto sensors.
Stainless-steel coated version suited to tougher mechanical and thermal environments.
Cable end diameter of 6 mm for compact installation points.
Available in 1 m, 3 m, and 5 m standard lengths.
Additional cable lengths are available from Pantron on request.
Dimensioned to the FOI-40 form shown in Pantron’s published accessory materials.

Best Fit Applications

Applications where the sensing point experiences more heat than the main sensor body should.
Installations that need a narrow optical pickup point at the process area.
Machine zones with mechanical exposure where a stainless-coated sheath is preferred.
Compact sensor-head or opto-sensor mounting layouts that benefit from remote optical positioning.

FOI accessories are typically selected when the standard sensor mounting position must be moved away from the harshest local process conditions.

Selection Notes

Choose the stainless-coated FOI variant when stronger mechanical protection is desirable.
Select the shortest practical length to simplify routing and support a tidy installation.
Use the Ø6 end version where the process-side mounting point is compact.
Request a non-standard length when the machine layout falls outside the published options.

The “-x” in the page title is represented here by the published standard length options and the possibility of special lengths on request.

Integration Notes

Confirm the mating Pantron sensor or sensor head is compatible with the FOI accessory concept before ordering.
Route the cable so the protected sheath is not subjected to unnecessary bending stress near the connection points.
Keep the main sensor body in the more protected location while the fiber optic path reaches the harsher process area.
Where process geometry changes, verify the dimensional drawing against available mounting depth and clearance.
