Choosing the optical fibers

Schneider Electric supplies Transparent Factory equipments with optical ports: modules, hubs and switches. What all those equipments have in common is that it is used to connect silica multimode fibers. Each optical connection needs two fibers.

From one end to the other these fibers must be 62.5/125 type and specified to allow communication on wavelengths 850 nm and 1300 nm.

Choosing the optical cables

The cable must include a minimal amount and maximal quality of fibers as described in the previous paragraph. Furthermore, it can contain other fibers or electrical conductors.

Its protection must be compatible with the installation conditions.
