Using Long Fiber Optic Sections
The maximum permitted length of PCF FO cables with the OBT is 300 m. If longer
distances are required with fiber-optic cables, then other fiber-optic types such as
graded glass fibers or monomode fibers are necessary and these can be used in a
combination of OBT with OLM (Optical Link Module). The OBT is then connected
electrically to the OLM (for example OBT/CH 1 to OLM/CH 1) and the OLM is
attached to the long fiber-optic section. At the other end of the fiber-optic section,
the arrangement is reversed by another OLM/OBT pair.

Example of Including Long Fiber-optic Segments with OBT and OLM
The maximum permitted transmission rate and the type and maximum length of
the fiber-optic segment are determined by the OLM type.
