SICK Optex LL3-DR01 Fiber Optic Sensor Cable

The SICK Optex LL3-DR01 Fiber Optic Sensor Cable (part number 5308078) is a plastic, fiber‑optic lead designed to connect SICK LL3 family fiber optic sensors to their amplifiers or control systems. Offered in a 1350 mm length, the cable provides flexible routing in compact automation layouts and can be shortened to fit specific installations. The documentation indicates an FC end connection is included with the delivery, supporting direct attachment to compatible LL3 sensor heads or adapters. This lead is intended for industrial use where optical sensing through a fiber offers reliable performance in environments where traditional wired heads may be impractical, such as tight machine gaps, conveyors, or packaging lines. The LL3-DR01 is specifically associated with the LL3 series and is marketed as a spare or replacement fiber optic cable to extend sensing reach while preserving the integrity of the optical path. In practice, it enables rapid deployment of fiber‑optic sensing solutions for proximity or presence detection tasks, with a robust plastic jacket suitable for standard factory settings. Given its length, FC connectivity, and designation as a disposable/replaceable lead in the LL3 ecosystem, this cable is well suited for applications requiring a configurable fiber-optic interface between sensors and amplifiers without modifying the main sensing head.
