Cables for PROFINET
Electrical and optical cables are available for PROFINET. The type of cable depends on the
data transfer requirements and on the ambient conditions.
Simple method for the prefabrication of twisted pair cables
When you set up your PROFINET system, you can cut the twisted-pair cable to the required
length on site, strip it with the
stripping tool (for Industrial Ethernet), and fit the Industrial
Ethernet Fast Connect RJ45 plugs
using the cut-and-clamp method. For more information on
installation, refer to the installation instructions in the "SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet
Network Manual" (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/8763736
).
Note
A maximum of four plug
-in pairs are allowed between two switches per Ethernet path.
