Fieldbus Spur Blocks

The Relcom Fieldbus Spur Block, FCS-S, provides cable interconnections without a built-in terminator. For example, the Spur Block can be used in the home run to attach two devices to the middle of the Fieldbus. As many Spur Blocks as needed can be used on a Fieldbus segment, as long as the maximum spur length is not exceeded as defined by the standard. Using a Spur Block allows the removal of a device cable from the Fieldbus without affecting other devices or the integrity of the segment wiring. The Spur Block can also be expanded with the Relcom Fieldbus Expander block to provide additional device connections. The Spur Block has an LED to indicate when segment power is present

Spur Blocks are part of our Legacy Fieldbus interconnection blocks. For new designs, we recommend our Megablock Series.
