The bus trunk cable has a passive line terminator at each end.
Table 4. Basic data for the PROFIBUS PA reference cable
Parameter PA, Cable type A

Covering level of the shield 90%
The Power Link Modules of the PROFIBUS Linking Device LD 800P possess an
integrated bus terminator, which terminates the PROFIBUS PA line unilaterally
and therefore eliminates the need for a separate bus terminator on the Power Link
Modules. (see also PROFIBUS DP/PA Linking Device LD 800P on page 40
