Part Description

Mega-Glow™ is a cost saving side light fiber optic cable. It’s concentric structure which yields 10-28% more light is constructed of multiple 1.0-mm strands bundled and extruded with in a clear UV stable PVC jacket. The fiber has a 60-degree acceptance angle. Mega-Glow™ cable is manufactured in five sizes ranging from 7 strands to 91 strands. The amount of transmitted light per cable is directly proportional to the number of strands within the cable. Mega-Glow™ is used in pool, fountain lighting, limousine and other side light applications.

Environment

Mega-Glow™ cables can be used for indoor or outdoor applications. The PVC jacket contains UV inhibitors, algaecide, and fungicide. To prevent any deterioration, avoid allowing moisture between the jacket and fiber bundle. Seal exposed ends and use a sealed end cap on the cable whenever pushing or pulling the cable through conduit or pipe. Avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that might damage or penetrate the jacket. Cable may be used in direct burial applications. Avoid allowing the clear jacket to enter the main ferrule; this may cause overheating.
