The cable can be ordered both in meters and as a preassembled cable. Cables for devices
with an integrated optical interface are fitted with 2 x 2 simplex connectors, cables for
connection of OLM/P11 and OLM/P12 have 2 x 2 BFOC connectors. The cables are
supplied with a pulling loop at one end that allows the cables to be pulled, for example, into
cable channels.
Properties
The PCF standard cable GP is
● Designed for 100 N permanent tensile strain
● Conditionally resistant to mineral oil ASTM no. 2
● Conditionally resistant to greases
● UV resistant
● Flame retardant to IEC 60332-1
● Equally suitable for PROFIBUS and PROFINET (outer jacket green)
Use
The PCF standard cable GP 6XV1 861-2A/3A/7A *** is a robust round cable for use indoors
and outdoors with cable lengths up to 400 m (OLM) or 300 m (integrated optical interfaces,
OBT) in each case between two nodes.
