SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS PCF Fiber Optic
Marking of the
SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS PCF Fiber Optic Standard Cable
To help you connect up the cable
correctly, the PCF standard cable has
arrow markings on the orange cord.
This helps to make sure that you attach
one end of a cord to the transmitter and
the other to a receiver (crossed over
cords).
Remove the dust cap shortly before you
insert the connector into the socket.
First connect the orange cord:
If the arrow on the orange cord is
pointing out of the cable, connect this
cord to the receiver. The receiver is
identified by an arrow pointing into a
circle.
If the arrow on the orange cord points
into the cable (picture), connect this
cord to the transmitter. The transmitter
is identified by an arrow pointing out of
a circle.
