Description

This cable is designed for PROFIBUS‑DP networks using the RS‑485 physical layer. It features a 150‑ohm balanced twisted pair with an overall foil and braid shield and integrated drain wire to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments. The construction supports data rates from low speed up to 12 Mbit/s over standard DP segment lengths and is suitable for daisy‑chain bus wiring between PLCs, distributed I/O, inverters, sensors and HMIs. The purple jacket identifies the fieldbus and aids routing in control cabinets and plant infrastructure. Termination is typically via DB9, M12 or terminal block connectors per device design.
