XGC-F201

Description

CPU synchronization fiber-optic cable, 2 m length (LC multi-core), used for optical synchronization or long-distance media in XGT/XGR/XGB systems. Provides optical isolation and long-distance capability where required.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The XGC-F201 is the 2-metre LC-type fiber optic synchronization cable meant for systems or modules that require optical media (for example, drive redundancy bases or mixed-media topologies). Fiber variants provide galvanic isolation and immunity to EMI, and the product documentation specifies connector type, supported topology and maximum optical distances when paired with the appropriate transceivers.

Pros

• Optical medium offers galvanic isolation and superior EMI immunity.
• Short 2 m length simplifies routing in cabinets where fiber is required for signal integrity.

Limitations

• Requires optical transceivers, proper LC terminations and careful handling; follow the manual.
• Fiber cabling and terminations add cost compared with copper expansion cables.

Typical use cases

• Synchronization between CPU and expansion modules in high-EMI environments, optical trunking between racks, or redundancy/multi-media applications.
