Glass & PMMA Fiber Optic Harnesses

The only UK manufacturer of raw fiber for fiber optic harnesses

UFO is the only manufacturer of raw fiber for lighting in the United Kingdom. Our harnesses are UK made and our manufacturing team have years of experience in building, randomising and polishing. This means you can be sure that you are purchasing a top quality product.

There are two general types of harnesses available - glass and PMMA, and these are further broken down into end lit or side emitting types.

Harnesses comprise one or more tails (or cables) of fiber optics which transmit the light from the illuminator over a distance.

The tails are joined together in a connector (the common end) which plugs into the illuminator, and are normally loose at the other end. Harnesses may be terminated with ferrules or other end fittings at the loose end depending on the type of fiber used.

End Lit Glass Fiber Harnesses

End lit glass harnesses offer the best light transmission over distances up to around 10 meters.
