Sercos cable characteristics.
Fagor Automation provides the fiber optic cables needed for Sercos communication. There are
different types of cables depending on length and dynamic and static installation characteristics.
• Fiber optic cable with polymer core (SFO, SFO-FLEX) for up to 40 meters If the cable will be
subject to dynamic conditions (it will be moving), the SFO-FLEX cable must always be used.
If the cable will be subject to static conditions (it will not be moving), the SFO cable will be enough.
• Fiber optic cable with glass core (SFO-V-FLEX) for more than 40 meters.
Mechanical characteristics of the cables.
Cable handling.
Fagor supplies the cable with the terminals protected by a cap. Remove the protection cap before
connecting the cable.
To remove the terminal protecting cap or to connect or disconnect the cable, hold the cable by its
terminal; never pull the cable by holding its plastic part because it could render it useless.
SFO cable
Flexibility. Normal. Minimum bending radius: 30 mm.
Only to be used when the cable will not be moving (static conditions).
Covering. PUR. Polyurethane resistant to chemical used on machines.
Temperature. Work: -20 ºC / 80 ºC (-4 ºF / 176 ºF).
Storage: -35 ºC / 85 ºC (-31 ºF / 158 ºF).
SFO-V-FLEX cable
Flexibility. Minimum bending radius: 16 mm.
Special cables to be used in cable carrying chains.
Temperature. Work: -65 ºC / 125 ºC (-85 ºF / 257 ºF).
SFO-FLEX cable
Flexibility. High. Minimum static bending radius of 50 mm and a dynamic radius of 70 mm.
Special cables to be used in cable carrying chains.
Covering. PUR. Polyurethane resistant to chemical used on machines.
Temperature. Work: -20 ºC / 70 ºC (-4 ºF / 158 ºF).
Storage: -40 ºC / 80 ºC (-40 ºF / 176 ºF).
