Application
SIMATIC NET POF and PCF fiber-optic cables are used to con-
struct optical indoor and outdoor Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET
networks. They are easy to assemble on-site with the Termination
Kits and 2 x 2 RJ connectors. The maximum cable length be-
tween two Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET devices is 100 m for
PCF and 50 m for POF fiber-optic cables.
Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET devices with integral optical inter-
face (SC RJ connection system) are, for example, SCALANCE X-
200P IRT and ET200S.
