PMMA End Glow Fiber Optic Cable — NL & CK Series | Nucleo
A Passive Strand That Carries Light, Not Current

PMMA end glow fiber optic cable has no electronics of its own — it is simply a highly polished acrylic strand that channels LED light from a remote illuminator to a single point. Because the light source sits outside the ceiling or panel entirely, there is no heat, no wiring and no live component anywhere near the finished surface. Nucleo's NL and CK series supply the raw fiber in seven diameters, from a fine 0.5mm strand for dense starfields down to a bold 3mm strand for individual accent points, in continuous rolls that run straight from illuminator to ceiling without a single joint.

Seven Diameters, One Family

Smaller strands scatter into hundreds of fine points; larger strands hold a single bright accent. All seven diameters run on the same illuminator platform.

What Makes PMMA End Glow the Standard Choice

A simple product with very few variables — which is exactly why it has remained the base material for fiber optic point lighting for decades.

🔬

High-Clarity PMMA Core

Optical-grade acrylic transmits light over long runs with minimal loss, keeping the end point bright even on longer strand lengths.

📏

Seven Diameters

0.5mm through 3mm covers everything from a dense starfield of fine points to bold individual accents from the same product family.

🧵

Long Continuous Rolls

Up to 6000m per roll at 0.5mm, scaling down to 150m at 3mm — enough to run most ceilings without a mid-length join.

💡

True Point-Source Glow

Light exits only at the cut tip, producing a crisp, star-like point rather than a glowing line — the defining trait of end glow fiber.

📦

NL Spool & CK Boxed Packing

Two packaging formats of the same PMMA fiber, so installers can choose whichever handles better for their site and volume.

🔌

Zero Electrical Load at the Point

Since the strand itself carries no current, thousands of ceiling points can be lit from a single remote illuminator with no wiring at each point.

🎛️

Works With Any Nucleo Illuminator

Pairs directly with the Nucleo NLE fiber light engine range — match strand diameter to illuminator aperture and strand capacity at order stage.

Where Bare PMMA Fiber Is Specified

Any dry, indoor surface where a field of individual light points is needed without running wire to each point.

Star Ceilings

The classic application — hundreds of fine 0.5mm–1mm points threaded through a false ceiling for a night-sky effect in bedrooms and home theatres.

🏨

Hospitality Feature Ceilings

Lobbies, banquet halls and premium suites use larger-diameter points as sparse architectural accents rather than dense starfields.

🖼️

Museum & Retail Display Points

Individual points highlight objects in display cases without introducing heat or wiring near sensitive exhibits or merchandise.

🔤

Signage & Backlit Lettering

Fiber tips threaded through channel-cut lettering produce clean, dot-matrix illumination without visible wiring.

🛋️

Furniture & Joinery Inlay

Fine strands set into wardrobe fronts, bar counters and joinery details create discreet points of light within the material itself.

🎭

Stage & Exhibition Sets

Lightweight and heat-free, fiber points are threaded into backdrops and set pieces where fixtures would be impractical.

🚗

Automotive Headliners

Fine-diameter strands routed through vehicle roof linings recreate a starfield effect for custom and premium car interiors.

🕌

Religious & Cultural Spaces

Domes and ceremonial ceilings use dense point fields to reproduce a constellation effect appropriate to the setting.

Common Questions
What is end glow fiber optic cable and how is it different from side glow?+
End glow fiber optic cable carries light internally along its length and releases it only at the cut end, producing a single bright point of light — the effect used for star ceilings. Side glow fiber releases light continuously along its entire length instead, like a glowing rope. Both are driven by the same type of illuminator, but the cable construction differs.
What diameters are available in the PMMA end glow range?+
The range covers seven diameters — 0.5mm, 0.75mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm — available in both the NL series (spool packed) and the CK series (boxed packaging). Smaller diameters produce finer, more numerous star points; larger diameters produce brighter, fewer points.
How long is each roll and can multiple rolls be joined?+
Roll length depends on diameter — from 6000 metres at 0.5mm down to 150 metres at 3mm, since thinner fiber is lighter and more can be wound per roll. Fiber strands are normally run continuously from the illuminator to each ceiling point without joins, since splicing introduces light loss at the joint.
What light source does this cable need to work?+
PMMA fiber optic cable does not generate its own light — it is a passive light-carrying medium. It must be connected at one end to a Nucleo fiber optic light engine (illuminator), which projects LED light into the strand aperture. Illuminator capacity and strand diameter should be matched at the time of ordering.
Is bare PMMA fiber optic cable suitable for outdoor or wet locations?+
The bare NL and CK series have no PVC sheath and are intended for dry, indoor installation such as false ceilings, showcases and signage. For outdoor use, wet locations, or anywhere the cable will be handled or walked over, the PVC-jacketed end glow series is the correct choice instead.
What is the difference between the NL series and CK series?+
Both are bare PMMA end glow fiber at the same diameters and comparable roll lengths. The difference is packaging and sourcing batch — NL series ships on open spools, CK series ships in boxed packaging. Optically and functionally they perform the same way; choice is typically driven by project volume and handling preference.
