This plastic optical fiber cable provides noise-immune data transmission for Siemens SIMATIC networks. It connects remote automation devices using light signals instead of electrical currents. We designed the Siemens 6ES5733-8CB00 specifically for the PROFIBUS and SIMATIC S5 communication systems. This cable ensures reliable signal transfer in electrically noisy industrial environments. It offers a cost-effective solution for short to medium distance network connections. Therefore, your automation network maintains data integrity without electromagnetic interference concerns.
Physical Configuration and Material Specifications
The Siemens 6ES5733-8CB00 features a flexible polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) fiber core. Its overall diameter measures 7.8 mm with a robust outer jacket. The cable weighs approximately 50 grams per meter for easy handling and installation. This unit includes a black polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer sheath for mechanical protection. The cable terminates with standard BFOC (2.5 mm) connectors at both ends. It provides a minimum bend radius of 35 mm for flexible routing options.
Optical Characteristics and Transmission Performance
This plastic optical fiber cable operates with a 650 nm wavelength light source. It provides a maximum attenuation of 0.25 dB per meter at the operating wavelength. The Siemens 6ES5733-8CB00 supports transmission distances up to 50 meters. It handles data rates up to 12 Mbps for PROFIBUS applications. The cable features a numerical aperture of 0.5 for efficient light coupling. It maintains stable optical performance across the specified temperature range. Consequently, this ensures consistent network communication in varying industrial conditions.
