◎ The evaluation of use cases and buyer needs helps select the most suitable cable model based on your mounting and connection requirements.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Mounting in an M4 hole with thru-beam detection and open end | Delock Fiber Optic Sensor Cable M4 x 0.7 mm Thread Thru-Beam to Open Fiber End 2 m Black | Best suited when an M4 thread, thru-beam setup, and open fiber end connection are required. |
| Mounting in an M3 hole with thru-beam detection | Delock LWL Fiber Optic Sensor Cable M3 x 0.5 mm Thread Thru-Beam to Open Fiber End Set 2 m Black 92008 | Suitable if the mounting space requires a smaller M3 thread while maintaining a thru-beam configuration. |
| Diffuse reflective sensing with M4 thread and pin connector | Delock LWL Sensor Cable M4 x 0.7 mm Thread Diffuse Reflective Sensor to 2 x 1 Pin Connector 2 m Black | Choose this option for diffuse reflective setups with an M4 thread and 2 x 1 pin connector. |
| Diffuse reflective sensing with M3 thread | Delock Fiber Optic Sensor Cable M3 x 0.5 mm Thread Diffuse Reflective Sensor to 2 x 1 Pin Connector 2 m Black | Optimal for tighter spaces requiring an M3 thread and a pin connector setup. |
| Coaxial reflective sensing with M3 thread | Delock LWL Sensor Cable with M3 x 0.5 mm Thread Coaxial Reflective Sensor to 2 x 1 Pin Connector 2 m Black 92010 | Suitable for high-precision coaxial detection equipment requiring an M3 thread. |
| Coaxial reflective sensing with M4 thread | Delock LWL Sensor Cable M4 x 0.7 mm Thread Coaxial Reflective Sensor to 2 x 1 Pin Connector 2 m Black | Required when a coaxial sensor design with a larger M4 thread and pin connector is specified. |
The Delock Fiber Optic Sensor Cable M4 x 0.7 mm Thread Thru-Beam to Open Fiber End 2 m Black differs from alternatives through its specific combination of an M4 thread, thru-beam sensor design, and open fiber end. It is best suited for industrial automation applications requiring this exact mounting and termination setup. Choose this model if it precisely matches the hardware specifications and signal amplifier requirements of your setup.
