Connecting a fiber-optic cable to the IM 467 FO

Required accessories
● Package with simplex connectors and polishing sets (6GK1901-0FB00-0AA0)
● Pack of plug-in adapters (6ES7195-1BE00-0XA0)
Installing connectors
1. Remove approximately 30 cm of the sheath of the fiber-optic duplex cable.
2. Install the fiber-optic duplex cable with the associated simplex connectors. You can find a
detailed description of simplex connectors in the
manual.
TIP: Close the two simplex connectors together rather than separately to obtain a duplex
connector. In this manner you will achieve a better hold in the plug adapter.
IMPORTANT: The polished surface of the plastic fibers must be absolutely smooth and
even. Likewise, the plastic jacket must not protrude or be cut unevenly. Every irregularity
causes strong attenuation of the light signal over the fiber-optic cable!
3. Place the simplex connectors in the plug-in adapter for the IM 467 FO and the fiber-optic
cable in the cable guides provided. Insert the plug-in adapter until you hear the sides clearly
latch into position.
Make sure when you insert the plugs in the plug-in adapter that the transmitter is always
at the top and the receiver is underneath.
