8.2 Project Planning Notes
General Notes
Note the following when planning the project:
The length of the transmission path is limited. Isolating points decrease
the maximum length of a fibre-optics cable stretch.
Between transmitter and receiver either only plastic fibre-optics cables
(IKO0982 or IKO0985) or only glass fibre-optics cables (IKO0001) may be
used. There may be no change from plastic to glass or vice versa at
isolating points.
The mechanical limit values of fibre-optics cables (e.g., bend radii,
tension, cross tension, alternate bends) must be maintained.
Thermal limit values of the fibre-optics cables may not be exceeded.
