• Harsh environment installations requiring noise immunity
• Long-distance Ethernet runs exceeding copper cable limitations (100m)

Solution Benefits

EMI Immunity: Fiber optic technology eliminates electromagnetic interference concerns, ensuring reliable data transmission near motors, VFDs, and high-voltage equipment.

Extended Distance: Supports network segments up to 2 kilometers without signal degradation, far exceeding copper Ethernet limitations.

Future-Proof Architecture: Compatible with legacy 100Mbps and modern Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure, protecting your automation investment.

Rugged Construction: Industrial-grade cable jacket withstands mechanical stress, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure common in manufacturing environments.

Common Questions

Q: Is this cable compatible with Schneider Modicon PLCs?
A: Yes, the 490NOR00003 is specifically designed for Schneider Electric ConneXium switches and Modicon PLC Ethernet modules with MT-RJ fiber ports.

Q: Can I use this cable outdoors?
A: While the cable features industrial-grade construction, outdoor installations require additional UV protection conduit. Consult installation guidelines for environmental specifications.

Q: What’s the difference between this and copper Ethernet cables?
A: Fiber optic cables offer superior EMI immunity, longer transmission distances (up to 2km vs 100m), and higher bandwidth potential compared to copper alternatives.

Q: Does this support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, fiber optic cables transmit data only. PoE requires copper cabling for power delivery.
