Fibre Optic Cable (1m)

This 1m fiber optic cable is intended for reliable signal transmission between our Signal to Optical Bridge and Stackable MOSFET Switch Boards, providing a clean optical control link with full galvanic isolation between the control side and the high-voltage switching stages. By transferring the gate-control signal optically instead of electrically, the cable helps reduce susceptibility to ground loops, common-mode noise, voltage transients, and high-voltage interference, making it especially suitable for stacked high-voltage MOSFET switching systems.

The cable uses 1mm diameter step-index plastic optical fiber with a black polyethylene jacket and comes pre-terminated with latching simplex connectors. The latching connector style provides improved retention compared with standard non-latching connectors, making it a good choice for systems where the fiber connection should remain secure during setup, testing, and operation.

This cable is compatible with Versatile Link-style plastic fiber optic transmitter and receiver components and is well suited for short-distance board-to-board and intra-system optical data links. In high-voltage pulse systems, it provides an effective way to transfer timing and drive signals across isolation barriers while keeping the control electronics electrically separated from the high-voltage switching hardware.

With a 1m length, this cable is practical for connecting an optical bridge to nearby stacked MOSFET switch stages while keeping the installation neat and minimizing excess cable length. The plastic optical fiber construction also makes the cable lightweight, flexible, and easy to route inside experimental setups and test systems.
