Connecting fiber-optic cables
BFOC connectors
Industrial Ethernet fiber-optic network components use only glass fiber-optic cables with
BFOC connectors.
Figure 3-3
Note
Connectors should only be fitted to glass fiber-optic cables by trained personnel. When fitted
correctly, they allow extremely low insertion loss and the value is highly reproducible after
multiple plugging cycles.
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. See also preassembled FO
cables.
