■
Application
SIMATIC NET POF and PCF fiber optic conductors are used
to construct optical indoor PROFINET and Industrial Ethernet
networks. Devices with integral optical interface (SC RJ
connection system) are, for example, SCALANCE X200-4P IRT,
SCALANCE X201-3P IRT, SCALANCE X202-2P IRT,
SCALANCE X101-1POF and ET 200S.
POF and PCF fiber optic cables can be assembled easily on site
with SC RJ plugs. The maximum cable length between two
devices is 50 m for POF and 100 m for PCF fiber-optic cables.
