Siemens 6XV1873-3AN15 SIMATIC NET FO Standard Cable 50/125 4xBFOC 15 m Industrial Network Cable

The Siemens 6XV1873-3AN15 is a 15 m SIMATIC NET FO Standard Cable 50/125, a glass multimode fiber-optic jumper preassembled with four BFOC connectors for 2x2 fiber-optic connections. Rated for indoor and outdoor installation, it carries a maximum attenuation of 2.7 dB/km at 850 nm and supports Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS links over glass fiber where electrical isolation or long, EMI-immune runs are needed.

Selection Notes

At 15 m, this cable reaches between separate cabinets or machine cells on the shop floor while staying well inside the 5000 m 100BaseFX and 3000 m PROFIBUS distance limits for this fiber type, so attenuation budget is not a constraint at this length. The glass OM2 core gives EMI immunity that a copper run cannot, which matters when the path crosses drive or welding cabling. Pick a shorter preassembled length for single-cabinet jumpers, or a longer one if the run must cross additional distance without a field splice.

Applications

Fiber-optic PROFIBUS and Industrial Ethernet backbone links between SIMATIC NET components, and BFOC patch connections on switches or panels where a run crosses drive, welding, or other high-EMI cabling.
