The incident light intensity may vary when using a multi-core ber or a thin type sharp
bending ber. This holder suppresses the variation in the incident light intensity. Brown.
Notes: 1) Do not bend the sleeve part of any side-view type ber or ultra-small diameter head type ber.
2) Refer to the universal sensor mounting stand MS-AJ series pages for details.
