The 15-meter optical assembly utilizes OM1 62.5\/125 multimode fiber strands terminated with ST to LC connectors to bridge field communication modules, network switches, and host control processors. Featuring an OFNR flame-retardant PVC outer jacket, the assembly prevents signal attenuation, electromagnetic interference, and ground loop potential across long-distance cabinet-to-cabinet backplanes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEFN110-015M-STLC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoxboro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.00 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 meters length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40 to +80 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassive Component\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiber Cable Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOM1 62.5\/125 Multimode Fiber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eST to LC (Factory-Terminated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Jacket Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOFNR (Riser) Flame-Retardant PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetwork Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFOUNDATION Fieldbus \/ Industrial Ethernet \/ DCS Backplane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnclosure\/Protection Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20 (When Installed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProcess Control \u0026amp; Digital Network Connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optical fiber construction provides continuous galvanically isolated data pass-through for 4-20 mA HART loop protocol diagnostic traffic and FOUNDATION Fieldbus network frames without risk of electromagnetic noise coupling. By isolating network segments optically, the patch cable eliminates channel-to-channel common-mode voltage differences between remote control racks. The factory-terminated ST and LC connectors maintain precise physical core alignment, minimizing insertion loss and preserving deterministic signal integrity across complex process control networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What physical bend radius limits must technicians maintain during cabinet installation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Installers must observe a minimum dynamic bend radius of 20 times the outer cable diameter during installation and a static bend radius of 10 times the outer diameter once fixed in cable trays to prevent micro-bending optical attenuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can this cable withstand routing between separate control rooms without conduit protection?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The cable features an OFNR riser-rated PVC jacket suitable for vertical shaft and cable tray runs within industrial buildings, but installers should place it inside protective conduit if routing through areas exposed to severe mechanical impact or chemical splash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does optical cable installation require grounding or shield bonding at the terminal cabinet?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. Because optical glass fibers carry light signals rather than electrical currents, the cable offers native galvanic isolation, requiring no earth ground connections or shield drain wire terminations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute the fiber cable through clean cable trays or dedicated wire ducts, keeping it separate from heavy high-voltage power lines to prevent physical crushing. Inspect the factory-terminated ST and LC optical connector faces before insertion, using lint-free optical wipes and isopropyl alcohol to clean the ferrules if dust is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsert the ST connector into the corresponding bulkhead adapter and twist to engage the bayonet latch firmly. Push the LC connector into its transceiver socket until the retaining clip locks securely in place. Secure the cable along the tray using velcro straps rather than tightly cinched plastic cable ties to avoid pinching the optical core. Maintain cabinet ambient operating temperatures within the rated -40 to +80 deg C limit to prevent thermal expansion stress on the glass fiber cladding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foxboro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43931633516634,"sku":"EFN110-015M-STLC","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5957\/0778\/files\/467._a75c060f-8895-4b68-b293-83aee11b5ac0.jpg?v=1787905055","url":"https:\/\/www.spareoil.com\/products\/efn110-015m-stlc-foxboro-multimode-fiber-patch-cable-st-lc-15m","provider":"SpareOil Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
