2.4.2.1 EK1501-0010 - Introduction
EK1501-0010 EtherCAT coupler with ID switch, single-mode optical fiber connection
The EK1501-0010 coupler differs from the EK1501 only in the transceiver used. Transmission ranges of up
to 20 km can be attained with the single-mode technique using appropriate optical fiber cables.
An attenuation budget of 10 dBm is available between the EK1501-0010 and the associated EK1521-0010
branch. The following factors can be taken as a basis for the estimation of the attenuation:
• Two SC plug connectors: 0.25 dBm each
• typical optical fiber cable with 0.4 dB/km attenuation
The sum of all attenuations may not exceed 10 dBm. The installed fiber optic section is to be validated by
measurement if necessary.
