Application
The fiber-optic cable (FOC) is used for the transmission of sig-
nals in very extensive plants and where there are significant po-
tential differences within a plant. The light beam is guided by to-
tal reflection at the transition from core to cladding which has a
lower refractive index than the core.
The FastConnect fiber-optic (FC FO) system enables fast on-site
assembly of glass fiber-optic cables with the right lengths to suit
the respective application.
