PROFIBUS Cable
Bus Cable for PROFIBUS
Different PROFIBUS cables are available for the different applications. Siemens offers shielded, twisted-pair cable with circular cross-section.
Due to double shielding, these cables are particularly suitable for industrial environments subject to electromagnetic interference.
Grounding continuity may be implemented through the outer casing of the bus cable – a separate drain wire is not required.
Advantages Using Siemens PROFIBUS Cable
Time saved by simple and fast connector mounting with FastConnect cables
Different types of PROFIBUS cables for a wide range of applications
Resistance of network to interference due to double shielded cables and integrated grounding concept through the outer casing of the bus cable
Silicone-free, thus particularly suitable for use in the automotive industry, etc.
The FastConnect (FC) bus cables are of a radially symmetric design that allows a stripping tool to be used. In this way bus connectors can be assembled quickly and easily.
PROFIBUS FC Standard Cable:
Standard bus cable specially designed for fast assembly.
PROFIBUS FC Robust Cable: This cable is specially designed to withstand aggressive chemicals and mechanical stress.
PROFIBUS FC Food cable:
The use of PE casing material makes this bus cable suitable for use in the food, beverages and tobacco industry
PROFIBUS FC Underground Cable:
This cable is specially designed for underground installation. It differs from the standard PROFIBUS bus cable in that it is equipped with an additional casing.
PROFIBUS FC Trailing Cable:
Bus cable for special use in cases of forced movement in mobile cable handlers, e.g. for continuously moving machine parts (stranded conductor).
PROFIBUS FC FRNC Cable:
Two-wire shielded, flame retardant and halogen-free bus cable with copolymer outer casing FRNC (Flame Retardant Non Corrosive). Bus cables without FastConnect method (design-related)
PROFIBUS Festoon Cable:
Flexible bus cable (stranded conductor) for special application in festoons. For round cables, the operation of a cable cart is recommended.
PROFIBUS Flexible Cable:
Bus cable for highly flexible applications: Special cable (stranded conductor) for use on moving machine parts (5 million torsional movements on 1 m cable, ±180 °).
SIENOPYR PROFIBUS Marine Cable:
Halogen-free, tread-resistant, flame retardant marine approved PROFIBUS bus cable for installation onboard ships and offshore units in rooms and on open deck.
