The FANUC I/O Link can be extended to the maximum length of 200 m
with optical fiber cables using an optical I/O link adapter.
NOTE
In the following cases, use an optical fiber cable.
D When the cable is more than 15 meters long.
D When the cable runs between different cabinets and it is
impossible to connect the cabinets with a grounding wire of 5.5
mm

or thicker.
D When there is concern that the cable is influenced by strong
noise; for example :
When there is a strong electromagnetic noise source beside the
cable such as a welding machine.
When a noise generating cable such as a power cable runs for
a long distance in parallel with the cable.
The external dimensions are the same for a standard type
(A13B–0154–B001) and a high–speed type (A13B–0154–B002).
