Rules
Observe the following rules:
•
If you use fiber-optic cables, ensure sufficient strain relief at the synchronization modules.
•
Comply with the technical specifications for the fiber-optic cables used (attenuation,
bandwidth).
Cables up to 10m
Use the synchronization module 6ES7960–1CB00–0AA5 in pairs with fiber-optic cables up to
10m.
Select the following specifications with cable lengths of up to 10m:
•
50/125µ or 62.5/125µ multimode fiber
•
2 x duplex cables per S7-1500H, crossover
•
LC-LC connector type
The following cables are available as accessories for S7-1500H:

2m 6ES7960–1BC00–5AA5
10m 6ES7960–1CB00–5AA5
Cables up to 40km
Insert the synchronization module 6ES7960-1FB00-0AA5 or 6ES7960-1FE00-0AA5 in pairs
with fiber-optic cables up to 40 km.
For cables over 10m, you will need to have the fiber-optic cables custom-made. Select the
following specifications:
•
Up to 10km: Single-mode fiber (mono-mode fiber) 9/125 µ (fiber specification OS1 or
OS2)
•
From 10 km to 40km: Single-mode fiber (mono-mode fiber) 9/125µ (fiber specification
OS2)
In exceptional cases, you can use the cables available as accessories in lengths of up to 10m
for commissioning and testing purposes. For permanent use, however, you must use the
cables specified in the table below with single-mode fibers.
Please see the following tables for the other specifications applicable to your specific
application.
