PROFINET/Industrial Ethernet
Cabling technology
IE FC TP Cable 2 x 2
2
■
Overview
•
4-core FastConnect installation cables for structured Fast
Ethernet cabling with special design for fast installation
•
Easy stripping with the FastConnect Stripping Tool; the outer
sheath and the braided shield are stripped accurately in one
step
•
Connection to FastConnect products using insulation
displacement
•
Exceeds Category 5 (Cat5e) of the international cabling
standards ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173
• PROFINET-compatible
•
UL approval
•
Different versions for different fields of application
(e.g. trailing, food, marine, railways)
•
High interference immunity thanks to double shielding
•
Easy length measurement thanks to printed meter markings
■
Benefits
•
Time-saving due to simple and quick assembly with
FastConnect cables 2 x 2 to Industrial Ethernet FC Outlet RJ45
(10/100 Mbit/s), Industrial Ethernet FC RJ45 Plug 180/145/90,
or IE FC M12 Plug PRO 2x2
•
Versatile application due to special bus cables
•
Network is immune to interference thanks to double shielded
cables and a uniform grounding concept
•
Silicone-free, therefore suitable for use in the automotive
industry (for example on paint lines)
■
Application
For the construction of Industrial Ethernet networks (4-core),
different cable types are offered to suit the different types of
application.
In general, the listed Industrial Ethernet FC cables IE FC Cable
2 x 2 must be used.
Note:
You will find other specifications of the network topology in the
manual for TP and fiber optic networks and in the Industrial
Ethernet/PROFINET system manual.
UL approvals
Different cable variants are offered with appropriate UL/ETL
approvals for laying in cable bundles and cable racks according
to the specifications of NEC (National Electrical Code)
Article 800/725. These are identified as GP (General Purpose).
■
Design
The FastConnect (FC) Industrial Ethernet cables IE FC Cable
2 x 2 are designed with radial symmetry and therefore allow the
use of the FC Stripping Tool The IE FC Outlet RJ45 and the
IE FC Plugs can therefore be attached quickly and easily.
•
The double shield makes it especially suitable for routing
through industrial areas with strong electro-magnetic fields
•
Easy connection to the insulation displacement contacts of the
IE FC plug without the need for special tools
•
System-wide grounding concept can be implemented through
the outer shield of the bus cable as well as through the
grounding concept of the IE FC Outlet RJ45 and the IE FC
Plugs
