7.4.3 BFOC connector for plastic FO cable
Properties
The BFOC connectors allow precision fiberoptic cable connections. The construction of the
BFOC connector allows the strain relief of cables to be used. These are essential for setting
up longer FO connections, for example, between different OLM/Ps. The BFOC connectors
must be ordered separately.
For ordering data and instructions on fitting connectors, refer to the IK PI catalog and Section
Installation instructions and notes on usage (Page 277).
