ABB TK811V050 POF Cable for Optical ModuleBus Connection

Product Overview

When establishing reliable optical ModuleBus connections in ABB S800 I/O systems, the TK811V050 provides a dedicated solution. This 5 m long duplex Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) cable ensures high-speed data transmission between modules. Manufactured by ABB under part number 3BSC950107R2, it features latching duplex connectors for secure installation.

Technical Specifications

The TK811V050 is a duplex plastic optical fiber cable with a length of 5 meters. It uses latching duplex connectors to maintain a stable connection. The cable weight is 0.02 kg, making it lightweight and easy to route within control cabinets. The product is part of the S800 mechanics family, with an additional weight specification of 0.045 kg for the complete assembly.

Industry Applications

In industrial automation environments, the TK811V050 is used to connect optical ModuleBus segments in ABB S800 distributed I/O systems. Typical applications include process control, manufacturing lines, and power generation where reliable, noise-immune communication is critical. The duplex fiber design supports bidirectional data flow, ensuring real-time control signals reach actuators and sensors without electromagnetic interference.

Installation & Setup Guidance

To install the TK811V050, connect the latching duplex connectors to the corresponding optical ports on S800 modules. Ensure the connectors click securely into place to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines to maintain signal integrity. The 5 m length provides flexibility for cabinet layouts without excessive slack.

Compatibility & Integration

This cable is designed specifically for ABB S800 I/O systems using optical ModuleBus communication. It replaces or extends existing POF connections within the same system architecture. For systems using copper ModuleBus, a separate converter may be required. Verify compatibility with your specific S800 module revision before ordering.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before purchasing the TK811V050, confirm that your application requires a 5 m duplex plastic optical fiber cable. Check the connector type on your S800 modules to ensure they accept latching duplex connectors. BluePLC Industrial stocks the TK811V050 and can advise on availability and alternative lengths if needed.

Comparison: TK811V050 vs. Alternative POF Cables

Compared to standard simplex POF cables, the TK811V050 offers duplex communication in a single jacket, reducing installation complexity. Unlike glass fiber cables, POF is more flexible and easier to terminate in field environments. The 5 m length suits most cabinet-to-cabinet connections within S800 systems.
