Product Information

Specification

DESCRIPTION:

Fiber optic patch cords are used not only for patching between panels and devices, but also as preterminated fiber cable runs. As termination tooling can be expensive and require craftsmanship to install, it is often easier to purchase preterminated fiber cable lengths that are plug and play. Also, it is common for fiber cables to bridge between Levels which may require a different Level connector on either side of the span. So with fiber patch cords, there are endless combinations of lengths and connector types.

LEVEL 1:

Level 1 is a controlled area located inside an industrial facility where cabling components are secured from physical damage and protected from harsh or industrial environments.
This level is typically located inside a climate-controlled area where the connecting and reconnecting of cables and patch cords is infrequent. These areas can include industrial offices, control rooms and environmentally controlled enclosures.

LEVEL 2:

Level 2 is located inside an industrial facility where cabling and components are subjected to more extreme ambient temperatures, humidity and potential damage.
This level is typically located inside a light industrial facility where machines and devices require occasional connection and reconnection for maintenance and movement. These areas could include assembly, dry packaging, warehouse and enclosed cabinets.

LEVEL 3:

Level 3 is located in a harsh industrial area where cabling and components are exposed to oil, solvents, cleaning agents, lubricants, water, wide varying temperatures, humidity and dust. These areas can be subject to wash downs, heavy vibrations and occasional forces of shock. Machine operators frequently connect and reconnect plugs and receptacles to move, clean or maintain equipment. These areas could include automation islands, robotics, welding, heavy machining, industrial equipment and exposed environments.
