Black Jacket PMMA Light-Guide POF Cable 4-7.5 mm
Black PVC/PE jacketed PMMA end-glow light-guide cable, 4/5.0-6.0/7.5mm sizes, 100m/roll, for underwater, underground and device light guides.
This is a black-skin soft PMMA light-guide fiber cable — a transparent PMMA core with a black PVC/PE jacket that suppresses stray side light and delivers light from one end to the other as a clean end point. It is used where a cold, electrically isolated light guide is needed: underwater and underground feature lighting, device indication, swimming-pool and oil-garden illumination. The fiber itself carries no power; it must be fed by an LED illuminator on the source end.
Product Overview
This product is part of our POF fiber optical cable range of step-index PMMA plastic optical fibers and jacketed cables. The values below are taken from the supplier grade table, structure sheet and listing; LED-illuminator parameters (color temperature, input voltage, IP rating) are deliberately excluded because they belong to the light source, not the fiber.
Key Features
- Black jacket suppresses side glow for clean end-point light guides.
- Cold light, no UV/IR, galvanically isolated from the power source.
- Available in 4/5.0, 5.0/6.3 and 6.0/7.5 mm size pairs.
- Flexible black jacket rated –40 ~ +75 °C and IP68 per supplier.
- Supplied on 100 m rolls, ~2.8 kg.

Ordering and Customization
Please confirm the outer/inner size pair you need, the roll or cut length, and the illuminator connector interface. Quote request at sales@fevelectronics.com. More answers are on the FAQ page, and you can return to the home page.
FAQ
Is this side-glow or end-glow?
It is a black-skin light guide: the black jacket suppresses side leakage and light exits mainly at the far end. Tail-emitting versions are also listed; confirm the effect you need.
Can it run underwater?
The supplier lists IP68 for the black-skin cable and markets it for underwater/underground use; sealing at the illuminator end must be designed into the installation.
What size do I choose?
Choose the outer/inner pair by your light-guide fixture and illuminator port; tell us the application and we will confirm the matching diameter.
Why Choose Us
We supply black-jacketed PMMA light-guide cable in the size pairs actually stocked, and separate the passive fiber from the LED illuminator that drives it. See the POF cable category, the FAQ page, or the home page.
