Component Details
The IFM-OBF504 is a fiber-optic amplifier designed to enhance the signals transmitted through fiber-optic cables in challenging environments. It is a part of the PAS (Process Automation System) product line by SICK, a leading manufacturer of sensors and automation solutions. The OBF504 operates on a wavelength of 1310 nm and provides a gain of up to 40 dB, making it suitable for long-distance signal transmission with minimal signal loss.
Application
The IFM-OBF504 is ideal for applications requiring reliable object detection in challenging environments, such as in the food and beverage industry. In these environments, dust, dirt, and other contaminants can cause signal attenuation, resulting in poor object detection performance. The OBF504’s high gain ensures that the signals transmitted through the fiber-optic cable remain strong, allowing for reliable object detection even in the presence of contaminants.
