Fiber optic cable, function - GF82.00-P-4000-04T

The light for data transmission in the MOST ring has a wave length of 650 nm. Visible light is in the range of blue with 400 nm to red with 800 nm.

Optical damping of the light signal may occur in the fiber optical cable.

This attenuation is dependent on:

• the length of the line between the components
• Bending radii for routing (minimum bending radius 25 mm)
• the condition of the insulation of the fiber optical cable (mechanical damage, pinching)

If a ring subscriber fails, it can be removed from the MOST. In order to assure the functional availability of the remaining components, the MOST has to be closed again with passive connectors.

The fiber optical cable consists of plastic with a fiber diameter of 1 mm. Each fiber optical cable is protected against mechanical damage and against admission of outside light with the help of an orange-colored insulation.
