In industrial applications, 与传统的铜缆解决方案相比，光纤提供了更强的性能，允许更长的链路, higher working temperatures, and immunity from electromagnetic interference.

OFS provides rugged, 用于数字化制造的耐用可靠的光纤系统, automation, energy monitoring and protection, smart cities and Industrial Ethernet.

用于工业应用的特种光纤产品的开发可以追溯到20世纪70年代，当时一家私人公司, mid-size company in central Connecticut, USA specializing in precision blasting caps for the mining and construction industries turned their research and development focus on the integration of optical fiber in their devices.  The leadership team reasoned that optical fiber was going to become the wave of the future and they wanted to ensure their company kept pace with this evolving technology.  科学家知道他们需要一个大的核, 阶跃折射率光纤能够承受其产品部署的恶劣环境.    A thorough evaluation of what was then available in the marketplace revealed that existing products would not provide the reliable solution the scientists required and that the market expected.  公司立项开发一种新型特种光纤.  他们的努力促成了HCS®(硬包层二氧化硅)光纤的诞生.

The scientist invented a polymer with optical properties that when applied in a very thin layer and cured on pure silica resulted in an optical fiber resistant to static fatigue and high in tensile strength.  The company then went about developing its cabling capabilities and developing connectors and termination tools for this new type of optical fiber.  HCS optical fiber with its hard polymer cladding and crimp and cleave connectorization technique made fiber as easy to use as copper for industrial applications.

Today, HCS and other specialty optical fiber products as well as ruggedized communications-grade fiber optic cables and connectivity solutions are part of the OFS Industrial Networks product portfolio.  These products are used in a variety of applications where durability and reliability are essential for the success of our customers’ deployments.

• Automation and Control

  • Factory Automation:

    For Ethernet on the factory floor, the OFS GiHCS® Industrial Cabling Solution enables optimized production, integration of production data, 增强了基于SFP和gbic的以太网交换机和路由设备的可访问性和操作性. These rugged, reliable multimode step-index fiber optic cables also provide an effective solution for common industry problems such as electrical noise, temperature fluctuation, high vibration, chemical exposure, and cable flexing.

    OFS ruggedized industrial cables are compatible with our easy-to-use crimp and cleave LC (SFP transceivers) connector technology.

    GiHCS, LSZH/OFNR Riser Rated Industrial Cables are built for fast (100 Mb/s) and gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mb/s) speeds and operate in a temperature range of –20 to 80 °C. They have high tensile strength, are available for indoor or outdoor use, are RoHS and REACH compliant, and are resistant to abrasion, vibration, and chemicals.

    The Crimp & Cleave LC connector kits allow for quick, easy terminations, with no power, epoxy, gels, or polishing required; you do not have to be a fiber optic expert to install one of these. Just crimp, cleave, and leave.

  • Machine Interconnect:

    Implementation of Smart Factory initiatives and the growing IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) are making OFS HCS optical fiber the choice for:

    • Future higher capacity system upgrades
    • Immunity to EMI interferences

    • Longer than copper or POF link distances

  • Robotics and Drag Chain:

    光纤和电缆用于机器人及其控制系统, meeting the long term demands for torsion, flexing, strength and bend radius.

    Drag chains are guides designed for surrounding and guiding cables as well as pneumatic or hydraulic hoses which are connected to moving machinery.

• Renewable Energy

  • Windpower Controls:

    Wind turbine designers face many challenges in ensuring optimal system reliability and successful cable installation — electrical noise, widely fluctuating temperatures, high vibration, exposure to industrial oils, 需要迅速修复损坏的电缆, and the ability to perform simpler modifications. OFS设计了工业光纤产品来帮助缓解这些挑战.

    提供这些关键应用所需的耐用性，我们的多功能 GiHCS® Industrial Cabling Solution 在控制系统内提供无缝数据集成，并帮助提供实时操作数据.

• Electrical Current (Energy)

  • HVDC – Thyristor Triggering Controls:

    在OFS，我们相信力量越大，责任越大. Transmission schemes of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) are more efficient and have a greater capability than AC systems. 如果不加以适当的利用，大量的带电能量可能是危险的. The proper protection of your conductive materials also ensures electronic noise will not scramble networks and IT systems. Imagine the ability to enjoy high NA optical fiber that captures more input power with very low bend-induced attenuation, and high coupling efficiency.

    OFS为您的HVDC需求提供全套解决方案. HCS® (Hard-Clad Silica) is a problem-solving, 硬聚合物包覆光纤系统是在光纤工业早期发明的. The revolutionary GiHCS® (Graded-Index, Hard-Clad Silica) optical fiber solution from OFS provides the end-user more bandwidth capability along with the added benefit of easy-to-use HCS optical fibers. OFS has developed and proven the robustness and simplicity of using optical fibers in a wide variety of non-traditional applications.

    Part of the HCS fiber family, 这些纤维与卷曲和切割终端以及传统的环氧/抛光连接器系统兼容.

  • Current and Voltage Measurement:

    The most common way to measure high voltage currents has traditionally been using bulky and heavy current transformers (CTs). These CTs, besides their size and weight, have several additional shortcomings as magnetic saturation and limited bandwidth cause them to often not give a true image of the primary current. 利用法拉第效应或其他原理的基于光纤的设备, 作为一种有吸引力的电流测量新技术有很大的潜力. OFS industrial HCS® 光纤是这些系统的一部分，它们需要在恶劣的环境中运行, including extreme temperature ranges.

  • Arc Flash Protection:

    New guidelines and standards put forward by international trade and safety bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have helped raise awareness about the dangers Arc flash events. 电弧闪光检测传感器提供了一种经济有效的方法，通过最小化检测时间来减少电弧闪光能量.OFS industrial HCS® fibers are used in Arc Flash Detection Systems to detect and trip for an arc flash event in the shortest time possible, 超过要求的机械性能和长期耐用性.
