Figure 7-13 Design of the fiber-optic trailing cable
Fiber-optic trailing cable 6XV1 873--2C/3C***/6C***
The fiber-optic duplex trailing cable contains 2 multimode graded index fibers 50/125 μm.
The round cross section of the cable makes it easier to seal cable feedthroughs.
The outer jacket is labeled "SIEMENS SIMATIC NET FO Trailing Cable (PROFINET Type C)
2G50/125 6XV1 873-2C" and has meter markers.
Properties
The fiber-optic duplex trailing cable has the following properties:
● Designed for 800 N permanent tensile strain
● No silicone
● Available in meter lengths for up to 1000 m
● Available preassembled with 4 BFOC or SC connectors in fixed lengths up to 100 m
● Resistant to mineral oil
● Resistant to grease
Use
The fiber-optic trailing cable is a standard cable for flexible applications in drag chains both
indoors and outdoors.
