Specification
Installation cables for outdoor applications
1 cable with 4 cores per fault-tolerant system
•
Both interfaces in one cable
1 or 2 cables with several shared cores
•
Separate installation of the interfaces in order to
increase availability (reduction of common cause
factor)
Connector type ST or SC, for example, to match
•
other components; see below
Further specifications you may need to observe for
your plant:
UL approval
•
Halogen-free materials
•
Further specifications you may need to observe for
your plant:
Protection against increased mechanical stress
•
Protection against rodents
•
Water-proofing
•
Suitable for direct underground installation
•
Suitable for the given temperature ranges
•
Avoid splicing cables in the field. Use prefabricated
cables with pulling protection/aids in whiplash design,
including measuring log.
