FOCT Fiber Optic Wire Jumper
Rugged multi-core optical cable assembly designed for electronic and all-fiber current transformer connections. A keyed blind-mating interface, protected cable and configurable fiber count support outdoor substation and high-voltage equipment integration.
FOCT Assembly Features
Three-Key Positioning
The catalog design uses keyed positioning to align the multi-core connection and support blind mating in equipment installations.
Outdoor Protection
The copper-alloy connector housing, protective caps and cable construction are designed for corrosion, water, dust and harsh outdoor exposure.
Configurable Core Count
Reference options include 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 and 36 fibers for electronic-current-transformer and hybrid connection layouts.
Reference Specifications
| Characteristic | Catalog reference | RFQ confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Insertion loss | ≤0.70 dB | State wavelength, reference method and per-channel acceptance |
| Repeatability | ≤0.50 dB | Define mating sequence and number of measurements |
| Fiber count | 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 or 36 | Provide the end-to-end channel map |
| Insertion/extraction cycles | ≥500 | Confirm test method and maintenance conditions |
| Operating temperature | -40 to +85°C | Add storage, installation and project environmental limits |
Ingress note: the source catalog describes corrosion, waterproofing and dustproofing features but does not state an IP67/IP68 certification. Specify the required ingress, salt-mist, vibration, mechanical and electrical-environment tests in the project RFQ.
Interface and Cable Selection
- Equipment receptacle drawing, panel interface and connector mating orientation
- Fiber count, fiber type, color/number identification and channel map
- Cable length, branch lengths, outer jacket, bend radius and pulling conditions
- Connector shell material, keying, dust caps and strain relief
- Operating, installation and storage temperature
- Water, dust, corrosion, UV, vibration and mechanical exposure
- Insertion loss, repeatability, mating cycle and continuity test requirements
- Packaging, labeling, serialization and field replacement strategy

Frequently Asked Questions
What does FOCT mean?
FOCT commonly refers to a fiber-optic current transformer. This jumper is an optical cable assembly for interconnecting current-transformer equipment and related optical channels.
Can the FOCT jumper use more than one fiber?
Yes. The catalog lists 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 and 36-fiber reference options. The exact channel map must be provided.
Is the connector automatically IP67 or IP68?
No fixed IP rating is claimed from the available source document. Include the required ingress test and acceptance standard in the RFQ.
How is equipment compatibility confirmed?
Compatibility is confirmed from the plug/receptacle drawings, keying, shell dimensions, fiber type, channel map, optical limits and environmental qualification.
