Cable lengths and data rate
The data rate determines the cable length of a subnet segment.
Table 7-16 Permitted cable length of a subnet segment for specific data rates
Data rate Max. cable length of a segment (in m)
19.6 to 187.5 kbit/s 1000

500 kbit/s 400
1.5 Mbit/s 200
3 to 12 Mbit/s 100
1)
With isolated interface
Longer cable lengths:
If you must realize longer cable lengths than permitted in one segment, you must use RS 485
repeaters. The maximum possible cable lengths between two RS 485 repeaters correspond to
the cable length of a segment. You can connect up to 9 RS 485 repeaters in series.
Note that an RS 485 repeater must be counted as a subnet node when determining the total
number of nodes to be connected. This is true even if the RS 485 repeater is not assigned its
own PROFIBUS address.
Connector features
The bus connector connects the PROFIBUS cables to the PROFIBUS DP interface X126, thus
establishing a connection to additional nodes.
Only bus connectors with a 35° cable outlet should be used in order to ensure that the front
cover can be closed.
