Fibre-optic cable connection for Interbus

1-22
We recommend fibre-optic technology (FOC) for transmission
in environments subjected to heavy interference as well as for
extending the working range when high transmission rates
are used.
This offers the following advantages:
– high EMC compatibility, high electromagnetic resistance
to interference due to the optical transmission of the sig-
nals,
– protection against lightning,
– electrical isolation of the individual Interbus stations.
The Interbus interface of the bus node is appropriate for the
Phoenix Contact Interbus/FOC converter Optosub Plus (pro-
tection class IP 20) and thus supports control of network
components for fibre-optic cables.
