7.4Fiber-Optic Connectors

Note

Fiber-optic connectors are impaired by dirt and mechanical damage to the end faces.

Protect open connections with the supplied dust caps.

7.4.1Connectors for Plastic Fiber-Optic Cables

Fitting connectors to plastic fiber-optic cables is relatively simple. The following connectors are available:

SSimplex connector for connecting OBTs and integrated optical interfaces

SAdapter for simplex connector for integrated optical interfaces

SBFOC connector for OLM/P

7.4.2Simplex Connector and Adapter for Devices with Integrated Optical Interfaces

Definition

Simplex connectors are used to attach the fiber-optic cable to the integrated fiber-optic interface of the PROFIBUS device. With certain Siemens modules (for example IM 153-2 FO, IM 467 FO) two simplex connectors (one for the transmitter and one for the receiver) are plugged on to the module using a special adapter.

Requirements

The PROFIBUS device must be equipped with a fiber-optic interface, such as the ET 200S (IM151 FO) or the IM 467 FO for the S7-400.
