PROFIBUS Communication Cable - BS EN/IEC 61158, PVC, LSZH - 7.9mm to 11.5mm

Overview

PROFIBUS is standardised to IEC 61158 giving more interoperability of components from different manufactures. PROFIBUS cables are especially made for process automation (PA). The modular peripheral construction (DP: decentralised periphery) of the bus system simplifies installation and maintenance. Also available with a galvanised copper wire braid for mechanical strength and resistance to interference.
