Carlo Gavazzi AFP-02 is a dedicated manual fibre cutter for preparing compatible plastic optical fibres used in industrial photoelectric sensing systems.
The Carlo Gavazzi AFP-02 is a dedicated fibre optic cutter designed for preparing plastic optical fibres used in compatible Carlo Gavazzi photoelectric sensing systems. As a purpose-built sensor accessory, it provides machine builders, maintenance engineers and automation professionals with a convenient method of cutting fibre optic cable to the required length during installation or servicing.
Correct preparation of plastic optical fibre is important for reliable photoelectric sensing. The AFP-02 is designed to produce a clean cut at the end of the fibre, helping provide an effective optical interface when the prepared fibre is fitted to compatible sensing equipment.
The compact, manually operated design requires no electrical supply and can be used during installation, commissioning or maintenance of compatible fibre optic sensing systems. It is particularly useful where plastic optical fibres need to be shortened or prepared on site to suit the layout of industrial machinery and automation equipment.
Plastic fibre optic sensing systems transmit light between a photoelectric sensor and a remote detection point. The condition of the fibre end can affect optical transmission, making proper fibre preparation an important part of installing and maintaining a reliable sensing system.
The Carlo Gavazzi AFP-02 provides a dedicated method of cutting compatible plastic optical fibre during installation. This allows excess fibre to be removed and the cable to be prepared for connection to compatible photoelectric sensing equipment, helping installers create neat and practical fibre routing within industrial machinery.

The AFP-02 is a fibre cutter used to prepare compatible plastic optical fibres for Carlo Gavazzi photoelectric sensing installations.
No. The AFP-02 is a sensor accessory and fibre cutting tool rather than a powered photoelectric sensor.
A dedicated fibre cutter helps produce a clean fibre end, supporting effective optical transmission when the prepared fibre is connected to compatible photoelectric sensing equipment.
No. The AFP-02 is a manually operated fibre cutting accessory and does not require an electrical power supply.
The AFP-02 is typically used during the installation, commissioning and maintenance of plastic fibre optic photoelectric sensing systems in industrial machinery and automation equipment.
Carlo Gavazzi fibre optic accessories provide machine builders and automation engineers with practical tools for installing and maintaining photoelectric sensing systems, helping ensure plastic optical fibres are correctly prepared for reliable industrial detection applications.
