Shielded, twisted-pair cable with circular cross-section

The following applies for all PROFIBUS bus cables:

• The double shield makes it especially suitable for routing through industrial areas with strong electro-magnetic fields
• System-wide grounding concept can be implemented using the external shield of the bus cable and the grounding terminals on the bus terminal
• Printed meter marks

Cable types

The shape of the FastConnect (FC) bus cables is radially symmetric and allows an insulation stripping tool to be used. This means that bus connectors can be assembled quickly and easily.

• PROFIBUS FC Standard Cable GP:
  Standard bus cable specially designed for fast installation
• PROFIBUS FC Standard Cable IS GP:
  Standard bus cable with special design for quick installation for intrinsically safe distributed I/O systems
• PROFIBUS FC Robust Cable:
  Special cable for use in corrosive atmospheres and under severe mechanical loading
• PROFIBUS FC Food Cable:
  The PE casing of the cable makes this cable suitable for use in the food and tobacco industry
• PROFIBUS FC Ground Cable:
  Special cable for laying underground. It differs from the PROFIBUS bus cable in that it has an additional sheath
• PROFIBUS FC Flexible Cable
  Flexible (stranded conductors), halogen-free bus cable with PUR sheath for occasional moving
• PROFIBUS FC Trailing Cable:
  Bus cable specially designed for forced motion control in a trailing cable, e.g. with continuously moving machine parts (stranded core)
• PROFIBUS FC FRNC Cable GP:
  Two-core, shielded, flame-retardant, halogen-free bus cable with Copolymer outer sheath FRNC (Flame Retardant Non Corrosive)

Bus cables without FastConnect technology (due to type of construction)

• PROFIBUS Festoon Cable GP:
  Flexible bus cable (stranded cores) specially designed for festoon suspension.
  For round cables, cable-carrying trolleys are recommended
• PROFIBUS Torsion Cable
  Bus cable for highly flexible applications:
  Special cable (stranded cores) for use on moving parts of machines
  (5 million torsion movements on 1 m length of cable, ± 180?)
• PROFIBUS Hybrid Cable GP:
  Rugged hybrid cable suitable for trailing with two copper conductors for data transmission and two copper conductors for the power supply of ET 200pro
• SIENOPYR FR marine cable
  Halogen-free, non-crush, flame-retardant, marine-approved cable for permanent installation on ships and offshore platforms indoors and on open deck. Sold by the meter.
