Optical component types
The FEA-03 F-series extension adapter has a 10 MBd fiber-optic link. The drive must also
have a 10 MBd DDCS fiber-optic connection. These optical cable types can be used:
• Plastic optical fibre (POF) cables (max. length 30 m [98 ft]) and
• Hard Clad Silica (HCS
®
) cables (max. length 200 m [656 ft}).
HCS cables allow longer connection distances because of their lower attenuation.
Note:
The optical components (transmitter and receiver) on a fibre-optic link must be of the
same type.
