Design
Fiber-optic cables with glass core (62.5/200/230) are offered for
the FastConnect fiber-optic cable system:
•
FC glass fiber-optic cable;
duplex cable for indoor and outdoor fiber-optic networks
The fiber structure corresponds to that of the PCF. This allows
simple assembly on site.
Approvals
UL listing (safety standard) for network lines is especially neces-
sary for the American and Canadian markets. The requirements
for the appropriate approvals depend on where the cable is
routed within the building. This applies to all cables which have
to be routed from a machine to a remote control cabinet and are
positioned on cable racks secured in the building. These cables
are identified by the suffix "GP" (general purpose) in the product
name and have the corresponding UL approvals.
