Fiber Optic Cables
The 1784-PM16SE card is connected to the drive(s) via a fiber optic cable.
These cables can be either made of plastic or glass.
Plastic Fiber Optic Cables
The card is connected to the drive(s) via a 1000
µm plastic simplex fiber
optical cable. Plastic fiber optic cables have a transmission range of 1 meter
to 32 meters. The maximum bend radius is 2.5 cm. Both the transmitter and
receiver connections are made using a F-SMA standard plug that conforms
to the F-SMA screw type connector.
Premade plastic fiber optic cable assemblies are available from
Allen-Bradley. Plastic fiber optic cables come in a variety of jackets
depending on application environments. The cable is available without a
jacket (Chlorinated Polyethylene) for use inside an electrical cabinet, a
standard jacket (Polyvinyl Chloride) for use outside of electrical cabinets, and
a nylon jacket for use in harsh environments.
The following table shows the catalog numbers and available lengths for
plastic fiber optic cables that are not jacketed (Chlorinated Polyethylene) and
should be used only within an electrical cabinet.
