Siemens 6XV1873-3AN50 SIMATIC NET FO Standard Cable 50/125 50m 4xBFOC Network Cable

The Siemens SIMATIC NET FO Standard Cable (6XV1873-3AN50) is a 50 m preassembled glass fiber-optic cable with four BFOC connectors, built on 50/125 µm OM2 multimode gradient fiber for Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS links. It carries UL approval for indoor/outdoor runs and supports 100BaseFX segments up to 5000 m or 1000BaseSX segments up to 750 m.

Selection Notes

At 50 m this preassembled length suits a single cabinet-to-cabinet or building-riser run without field termination; the 100 m variant is the option when the run exceeds that distance in one continuous pull. The four-BFOC termination pre-configures the cable as two independent fiber pairs, so it can carry one Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS link, or two shorter segments spliced at a patch panel. The 45 mm single-bend radius and 1200 N short-term tensile rating are the limits to check against cable tray routing before ordering, since exceeding either during pulling degrades the attenuation figures.

Applications

Fiber backbone links between Industrial Ethernet switches or PROFIBUS segments across separate control cabinets, floors, or buildings where copper runs would exceed distance or EMI limits. UL-listed jacket allows the same cable type indoors and in protected outdoor runs.
