Recommended connectors and POF cables
For the connection of the EK1561 it is recommended to use the connector set ZS1090-0008 [} 51]
(Versatile Link Duplex connectors) in conjunction with a duplex polymer fiber with an outside
diameter of 2 x 2.2 mm (Z1190), which are available from Beckhoff.
Installation notes
• permissible bending radius (in general r ≥ 25 mm, refer to the manufacturer's data!)
• permitted tensile strength
• sensitivity of the exposed contact ends
Connecting and releasing the POF cable at the junction
To connect the cable, insert the plug (available as an accessory in the plug set ZS1090-0008) into the
connection opening until it audibly latches.
Fig. 32: Latching lug with release catch on the POF duplex plug
To release the connector activate the release device with the latching lug. This is located on the right-hand
side of the connector (see Fig. "Latching lug with release catch at the POF duplex connector")
Risk of damage to the cable!
To release the cable, press the release catch on the plug and pull the plug at the same time – never pull by
the POF cable alone!
