END-EMITTING FIBER CABLES

Single Core 1mm to 3mm | End-Emitting Insulated Fiber Cable

Our single-core end-emitting fiber cable features a PMMA optical core enclosed in a black, UV-protected sheath. Connected to a fiber optic illuminator, the cable carries cold light from the source and emits it exclusively from the cable ends. Because the sheath blocks all side-emission, every bit of light is concentrated at the output point for maximum brightness.

This cable transmits light only. It carries no electricity and produces no heat, making it safe for use in wet areas, near flammable materials, and in confined spaces. The insulated design also protects the core from UV degradation, physical abrasion, and environmental exposure, giving it a longer service life than unsheathed alternatives.

Single-core end-emitting cable is the go-to choice for starry night sky ceilings, pathway edge lighting, landscape accents, and illuminated artworks or sculptures. The cable ends can be clean-cut for a simple point of light, or fitted with fiber optic fittings to control beam angles and diffusion. Available on rolls or as custom prefabricated lengths to suit your project requirements.

Key Features

End-Emitting Design

Light is emitted only from the cable ends, concentrating all output at the desired point for a bright, focused effect.

UV-Protected Sheath

The black insulated sheath shields the PMMA core from UV damage, physical wear, and environmental exposure for extended durability.

Cold Light, No Electricity

Transmits light without electricity or heat. Safe near water, flammable materials, and in areas where heat buildup is a concern.

Versatile Finishing Options

Ends can be clean-cut or fitted with fiber optic fittings for specific beam angles, diffusion patterns, and mounting styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "end-emitting" mean?

End-emitting means the cable is designed to output light only from its cut ends, not along its length. The black sheath blocks all side-emission, so the full light output is concentrated at the tip. This creates a bright point of light, perfect for star ceilings and pin-point accent lighting.

How is this different from bare fiber cable?

Our bare fiber cable has no sheath, which allows some light to escape along its sides for a soft glow effect. This end-emitting cable has a UV-protected sheath that blocks side-emission entirely, directing all light to the cable ends for a brighter, more focused point of light.

Does fiber optic cable carry electricity?

No. Fiber optic cable transmits light only. It carries no electrical current and produces no heat at the output end. The illuminator (light source) is the only component that requires a power connection. This makes the cable safe for wet areas, pools, and locations where electrical wiring is impractical or hazardous.

Can I use this cable for a star ceiling?

Yes. Single-core end-emitting fiber is one of the most popular choices for starry night sky ceiling installations. Each fiber end poked through the ceiling panel becomes a single "star." Pair it with a color-changing illuminator and you can create dynamic, twinkling night sky effects.

What if I need a larger diameter cable?

For projects requiring more light output or larger cable runs, consider our multi-core end-emitting fiber cable, available in 3.5mm to 20mm diameters. Multi-core cables bundle multiple fibers together for greater light transmission and intensity.

What illuminator should I use?

The right illuminator depends on your project size, cable count, and desired color effects. Browse our full range of fiber optic illuminators to find LED and metal halide options suited to your requirements.
