• Do not bend the cable too sharply. The minimum radius for bends is
10 cm.
• To prevent the Optical Fiber Cable from being pulled too forcefully, always

the cord and cable:
Cord: 0 kg (Do not apply any tension.)
Cable: 5 kg

• Do not place objects on top of the Optical Fiber Cable. The maximum
pressure that can be placed on the cord and cable is as follows:
Cord: 30 kg/10 cm
Cable: 50 kg/10 cm
• Inspect the connector before installing it.
A special connector (ST connector) is used to connect the GI Optical Fiber
Cable to the Controller Link Unit.
Connect the GI Optical Fiber Cables to the nodes in order from higher to lower
nodes. (When a ring topography is being used, connect the last node to the
first node, too.)
Observe the following precautions when connecting the Optical Fiber Cables.
• Always turn OFF the PLC power supply before connecting Optical Fiber
Cables.
• Special tools and skills are required to attach Optical Fiber Cables to the
connectors. The cable may disconnect from the connector if the proper
tools and methods are not used during cable assembly.
Use the following procedure to connect Optical Fiber Cables to a Unit.
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the Unit with the provided screws.
