Overview
•
Patch cables, available as pre-assembled cables
(max. length 1 m)
•
2-wire patch cables for directly connecting active network
components in the control cabinet
•
Small cable diameter for easy laying of cables
•
Easy connection of active network components with different
fiber-optic interfaces by means of patch cords with two types
of connectors
■
Benefits
•
Quick and error-free commissioning thanks to pre-assembled,
factory-tested FO patch cables
•
Simple cable laying in the control cabinet due to small cable
diameter
•
Silicone-free, therefore suitable for use in the automotive
industry (for example on paint lines)
•
Easy connection of active network components with various
fiber-optic
connection methods in the control cabinet
■
Application
FO Cord SC/SC connecting cable between XC100-4OBR and
SCALANCE X320-3LD
■
Design
•
