1.3.2 Laying of optical fiber cables (part two)

Tensile strength

The manufacturer specifies a maximum tensile strength for every cable type. Exceeding the maximum tensile strength damages or destroys the PROFIBUS cable. This is of particular importance in drag chains and garland suspensions due to the high mechanical load. Ensure that you choose the right type of cable for your application:
  1. PROFIBUS standard cable
  2. PROFIBUS trailing cable
  3. PROFIBUS festoon cable
 

Bitte beachten Sie im Umgang mit dem PROFIBUS-Kabel folgende Punkte:

  1. Pull the PROFIBUS cable by hand only. Do not apply force when pulling.




  2. Consider using rollers, for example, to provide strain relief when laying PROFIBUS cables.



Protect the connectors from dirt

  1. Optical fiber connectors are sensitive to dirt.

  2. Protect unconnected plugs and sockets by fitting the supplied dust-protection caps.
