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

The fiber optic cable consists of synthetic material with a fiber diameter of 1 mm. Each fiber optic cable is protected against mechanical damage and external light by orange colored insulation. The light for data transmission in the D2B has a wavelength of 650 nm (unit: Nanometer), for comparison: The light is in the range of blue with 400 nm to red with 800 nm).

Optical attenuation of the light signal can occur in the fiber optic cable.

The attenuation is dependent on:

• length of the line between the components
• bending radius when routing (minimum bending radius 25 mm)
• condition of fiber optic cable insulation (mechanical damage, pinching)
• passive connectors:

  These are used when a component is removed from the D2B ring due to a failure. In order to ensure a proper function of the remaining components, the ring can be reclosed with the passive connector.
