Passive Components for Electrical Networks

Fitting Connectors On-Site

If it is necessary to fit connectors on-site,

–SIEMENS provides this service (see Appendix I-2)

–BFOC connectors and special tools can be ordered (see I-2).

Note

Connectors for glass fiber-optic cables should only be fitted by trained staff. When fitted correctly, they allow extremely low coupling attenuation and the value can be repeated after inserting the connector several times.

Preassembled Cables

To be able to use glass fiber-optic cables with untrained personnel, glass fiber-optic cables are also available with four BFOC connectors already fitted.

For ordering data, please refer to the current SIMATIC NET Catalog IK 10.

Note

Fiber-optic connectors are impaired by dirt and mechanical damage to the end faces. Protect open connections with the supplied dust caps.
