KEYENCE OP-87458 Ethernet cable (M12 4-pin / RJ45) NFPA79-compatible Straight cable 5 m

Product Description

The KEYENCE OP-87458 is a high-performance fiber unit designed for use with KEYENCE's extensive range of fiber optic sensors. This specialized fiber optic cable assembly serves as the sensing component that connects to compatible amplifier units, enabling precise detection in challenging environments and applications where standard sensors cannot operate effectively. The OP-87458 features a compact sensing tip that can be directed into confined spaces, around obstacles, and through small openings to detect objects that are otherwise inaccessible.

Constructed with premium optical fibers and precision manufacturing, the OP-87458 ensures minimal light transmission loss and maximum signal integrity. The fiber cable is engineered with a flexible yet durable design that maintains stable performance even when bent or routed through complex paths. The sensing tip is specifically designed for focused detection applications, providing a narrow detection field for precise object sensing. The cable assembly features KEYENCE's proprietary connectors that ensure secure attachment and reliable optical coupling with amplifier units.

This fiber optic unit is particularly effective for detecting extremely small objects, monitoring high-temperature processes, operating in strong electromagnetic fields, and functioning in corrosive or wash-down environments. The all-glass fiber construction allows operation in elevated temperature environments, making it suitable for applications involving heated components or processes. The non-metallic composition provides complete immunity to electrical interference and enables safe use in explosive atmospheres or high-voltage environments.

Technical Specifications:

General Specifications: The KEYENCE OP-87458 is a standard-grade fiber optic cable unit with a length of 2 meters. The cable outer diameter is 2.2mm with a sensing tip diameter of 1.8mm. The unit features a straight-type sensing tip configuration with focused detection characteristics. The connector type is KEYENCE's standard rectangular connector compatible with most KEYENCE fiber optic sensors including FU, FS, and FX series amplifiers.

Optical Performance: The numerical aperture is 0.53, providing a focused detection field suitable for small object detection. The core material is premium optical glass ensuring high light transmission efficiency and minimal signal loss. The cladding material consists of hard nylon for durability and flexibility. The minimum bending radius is 15mm, allowing for installation in tight spaces without compromising performance. The light transmission efficiency is maintained at 85% minimum throughout the specified temperature range.

Environmental Specifications: The operating temperature range is from -40°C to +70°C for the cable section and up to +150°C for the sensing tip area. The storage temperature range is from -40°C to +80°C. The cable is resistant to most chemicals including oils, cutting fluids, and common industrial solvents. The sensing tip can withstand brief exposure to temperatures up to 200°C without damage. The unit is rated for operation in humidity levels up to 95% non-condensing.

Mechanical Characteristics: The cable construction features stainless steel reinforcement for crush resistance and durability. The outer jacket is made of flexible PVC that maintains flexibility in low-temperature environments. The sensing tip is constructed with stainless steel ferrule for mechanical protection and precise optical alignment. The connector body is made of engineering plastic with metal locking mechanism for secure connection. The tensile strength rating is 50N minimum for the cable assembly.

Electrical Properties: The fiber optic cable provides complete electrical isolation between the sensor and detection area, making it immune to electromagnetic interference and electrical noise. The non-conductive construction allows safe use in high-voltage environments and prevents ground loop issues. The dielectric strength withstands 1000V AC for 1 minute between core and shield.

Installation Compatibility: The OP-87458 is compatible with all KEYENCE fiber optic sensors including FU, FS, FL, and FV series amplifiers. The standard 2-meter length can be extended using KEYENCE extension cables up to 20 meters total length. The cable can be routed through cable carriers and flexible conduits for automated machinery applications. The unit supports both through-beam and diffuse-reflective detection modes depending on the amplifier configuration.

Special Features: The cable includes strain relief provisions at both connector and sensing tip ends to prevent damage from pulling or bending. The sensing tip can be cleaned and maintained without special tools. The focused detection characteristics enable precise sensing of small objects and edges. The cable is available in various lengths from 0.5m to 20m to suit different application requirements.

Application Guidelines: For through-beam detection applications, paired units must be used as sets with matching specifications. The sensing tip should be kept clean from dust, oil, and debris for optimal performance. Regular inspection is recommended for applications involving mechanical abrasion or chemical exposure. The focused detection field requires precise alignment for through-beam applications.

Certifications and Standards: The cable meets CE requirements and complies with European directives. It is certified according to UL standards for industrial control equipment. The cable meets VDE 0285 standards and complies with IEC 60228 for conductor requirements. The construction follows KEYENCE internal specifications for optical performance and durability.
