The Banner L2 is a compact and reliable fiber optic accessory engineered to extend the effective sensing range of fiber optic systems in opposed-mode applications. By enhancing detection distance and providing consistent signal quality, the L2 helps optimize performance in applications that demand precision, flexibility, and durability.

Specifically designed for range extension, the L2 allows standard opposed-mode fiber optic sensors to detect objects over longer distances than would be possible with bare fiber alone. This capability is particularly valuable in applications where objects must be detected across gaps, conveyors, or machinery openings, ensuring reliable operation even when installation constraints prevent close placement of fibers.

The unit supports opposed-mode fiber optics, a configuration where an emitter and receiver fiber are aligned opposite each other. This arrangement delivers excellent precision and repeatability, as the emitter projects a focused light beam directly into the receiver. By using the L2’s opposed lens design, the alignment is improved, and the beam remains stronger and more consistent across extended distances, reducing the risk of missed detections.

Equipped with an opposed lens type, the L2 ensures focused light transmission and reception. This lensing system minimizes signal loss while improving beam integrity, which is critical in applications involving high-speed objects, small targets, or variable lighting conditions. The lens construction enhances reliability, providing a stable optical path that improves detection performance across the extended range.

The M2.5/M2.6 threaded fiber compatibility ensures secure, easy installation and flexible mounting options. The threaded interface allows the fibers to be locked firmly into place, preventing loosening due to vibration or repeated handling. This feature supports long-term stability in demanding industrial environments while allowing for straightforward integration into existing setups.

Constructed for durability, the L2 is suitable for a wide range of industries, including electronics manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and automated assembly systems. For example, it can be used to detect small electronic components on a production line, confirm part presence across a conveyor gap, or monitor product flow in packaging machinery. Its compact size and reliable range extension capability make it an ideal accessory in applications where precision and space efficiency are critical.

In practical use, the Banner L2 contributes to improved system flexibility and reduced downtime by enabling opposed-mode fiber sensors to cover greater distances without sacrificing accuracy. By enhancing optical performance and ensuring stable fiber mounting, it supports both productivity and long-term operational reliability.

In summary, the Banner L2 provides a dependable solution for extending the sensing range of opposed-mode fiber optic systems. With its range extension capability, opposed lens design, secure M2.5/M2.6 threaded fiber compatibility, and durable construction, it is a cost-effective accessory that enhances the performance and flexibility of fiber optic sensing in industrial automation.
