Fiber optic interface inhibition control relay
Explanation:
Meaning:

There are fiber optic (or optical fiber, depends on what the target country and audience is) interfaces, and they can be inhibited with a control relay (or read otherwise, the relay controls the inhibition function). The translation provided is, IMO, the closest translation possible, and anyone with a technical background should be able to understand it.

Yes, I know it sounds kind of crazy, but people who work in this field will immediately separate "fiber optic interface" from "inhibition control relay" or will separate "fiber optic interface inhibition" from "control relay." Either way, the meaning is the same for a technician or engineer.
