Sumitomo Industrial Fiber Optic Cable Harness Assembly
This is a Sumitomo factory-terminated optical fiber harness built to drop into automation and motion-control networks.
Because the optical path is non-conductive, the unit provides electrical isolation between connected equipment and can be routed past motors, drives and power wiring without picking up noise.
Key Characteristics
- EMI-immune optical link between servo drives, amplifiers and controllers
- Drop-in replacement for industrial OEM optical cables
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for servo drive and amplifier networks in motion control, and machine and equipment harnesses requiring OEM-form fit. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the length? A: Standard lengths are listed in the specifications; custom lengths can be produced by confirming the routing distance and connectors.
Q: What is a fiber-optic harness? A: It is a factory-terminated optical cable with connectors installed on both ends, ready to plug into servo drives, controllers or modules without field termination.
Q: Is it a direct replacement for the OEM cable? A: The harness is built to match the listed fiber type and connector interfaces, so confirm the model/part number against the original equipment before ordering.
Q: Why use fiber in a servo system? A: Optical links are immune to drive-generated EMI and provide galvanic isolation, improving reliability in noisy motion-control cabinets.
