ABB TK812V050 3BSC950118R2 | 5m Simplex Optical Cable

ABB TK812V050 3BSC950118R2 Overview

The ABB TK812V050 3BSC950118R2 is a premium simplex plastic optical fiber (POF) cable designed for high-speed, noise-immune industrial communications. Measuring exactly 5 meters in length, this ultra-lightweight 0.025 kg cable provides the vital optical ModuleBus connection within ABB Advant OCS and System 800xA control architectures. It ensures seamless, zero-interference data transmission between controller submodules and distributed I/O clusters.

Core Technical Advantages

Simplex Plastic Optical Fiber (POF)

The plastic core architecture delivers exceptional flexibility and resistance to harsh mechanical bending, ensuring reliable fiber optic light guide propagation across compact industrial enclosures.

Complete Electromagnetic Immunity

As a non-conductive optical media, this ModuleBus link entirely isolates data streams from electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), and ground loops common in high-voltage industrial environments.

Dedicated Advant & 800xA Integration

Engineered precisely to meet ABB factory communication tolerances, guaranteeing plug-and-play synchronization and minimal attenuation loss for critical process control networks.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Engineering Guide

Bend Radius and Routing Constraints

Avoid sharp kinks during deployment. Maintain the minimum recommended factory bend radius for plastic optical fibers to prevent internal core micro-fractures and signal attenuation.

Connector Care and Dust Prevention

Keep the optical faces clear of dust, grease, and moisture. Leave the protective end caps on until the exact moment of connection into the ModuleBus optical port transceiver.

Correct Pulling Force

Never apply excessive tensile force directly to the 5-meter fiber length during channel routing. Pull gently via the connector housings to preserve structural integrity.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What specific systems can utilize the TK812V050 5-meter optical cable?
A1: This cable is explicitly designed for the optical ModuleBus link within ABB Advant-800xA setups, bridging controllers and I/O modules seamlessly.

Q2: Can this plastic optical fiber cable be cut or spliced to shorter lengths?
A2: No. This is a pre-terminated, factory-polished 5-meter assembly. Altering or cutting the cable will compromise the optical connection and increase signal loss.

Q3: Why use a plastic optical fiber over standard copper connection wires?
A3: The POF medium completely eliminates electrical conduction risks, protecting the System 800xA architecture from voltage surges and ground loops while providing noise-free communication.
