PROFIBUS L2 1x2x0.64 cable is a specialized cable designed for industrial automation systems, particularly for data transmission in PROFIBUS buses. The cable construction, with foil and braided shielding, ensures reliable operation in environments with increased levels of electromagnetic interference. The purple jacket facilitates identification in installations. The cable is intended for indoor installations.

Construction and application

The cable is characterized by a 1x2x0.64 mm construction – which means a single pair of conductors with a cross-section of 0.34 mm². The conductors are made of unplated copper, insulated with polyethylene foam. Additionally, the cable has a shield in the form of an aluminum foil and a copper braid, which minimizes the risk of signal interference. The outer jacket made of PVC provides mechanical and chemical resistance. This cable is used in industrial process control and monitoring systems where reliable data transmission is required.

Key features and benefits

Shielding: Aluminum foil and copper braid provide effective protection against electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing stable data transmission.
Flexibility: Construction with stranded conductors (class 1) provides good cable flexibility, making it easier to install and route in tight spaces.
Resistance: The outer PVC jacket protects the cable from mechanical and chemical factors, ensuring long-term operation.
Identification: The purple jacket color makes it easier to identify the cable in the installation, which streamlines service and maintenance work.
Temperature range: The cable maintains its properties over a wide temperature range – from -40°C to +70°C (during operation), allowing it to be used in various environmental conditions.
Compliance with standards: The cable meets the requirements of the PROFIbus standard according to DIN 19245 T3 and EN50170 and is flame retardant according to IEC 60332-1-2.
Outer diameter: The approximate outer diameter of the cable is 7.8 mm, which facilitates its routing in existing installations.
