Figure 7-14 Design of the fiber-optic trailing cable GP
Fiber-optic trailing cable GP 6XV1 873-2D/3D***/6D***
The fiber-optic duplex trailing cable GP 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 GP (PROFINET
Type C) 2G50/125 6XV1 873-2D (UL)E157125 OFN LL 64163 OFN FT4 90C CSA" and has
meter markers.
Properties
The fiber-optic duplex trailing cable GP 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
● Conditionally resistant to mineral oil
● Conditionally resistant to greases
Use
The fiber-optic trailing cable GP is a standard cable for flexible applications in drag chains
both indoors and outdoors.
