Cabling technology
IE FC TP Cable 4 x 2
2
■
Overview
•
8-core FastConnect installation cables for cabling system with
Gigabit capability (AWG22 and AWG24 versions)
•
Easy stripping with the FastConnect Stripping Tool; the outer
sheath and the braided shield are stripped accurately in one
step
•
Connection to IE FC RJ45 Modular Outlet (AWG22) or
IE FC RJ45 Plug 4 x 2 (AWG24) using insulation displacement
•
Satisfies Category 6 (Cat6) of the international cabling
standards ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173
•
UL approval
•
Easy length measurement thanks to printed meter markings
■
Benefits
•
Time-saving due to quick and easy assembly using
FastConnect cables 4 x 2 on IE FC RJ 45 Modular Outlet or
IE FC RJ45 Plug 4 x 2 or IE FC M12 Plug PRO 4x2 (X-coded)
•
Simple and error-free construction of an 8-core cabling system
with Gigabit capability
•
Due to the 8-core cabling, you can either implement two
Industrial Ethernet connections for Fast Ethernet (with
IE FC RJ 45 Modular Outlet) or one Gigabit Ethernet
•
Noise-immune network due to a consistent grounding
concept.
■
Application
The 8-core cabling system of SIMATIC NET allows transmission
rates of 10/100/1 000 Mbit/s for Ethernet as with the service-in-
dependent cabling from the office environment. This permits the
transition from the 4-core Industrial Ethernet cabling system to
the 8-core cabling system with Gigabit capability.
The IE FC TP Standard Cable GP 4 x 2 (AWG22) must be used
in conjunction with the IE FC Modular Outlet and the TP Cords
for constructing Industrial Ethernet networks (8-core) up to
100 m.
IE FC TP Standard Cable 4x2 (AWG22)
The IE FC TP Standard Cable GP 4 x 2 (AWG22) must be used
in conjunction with the IE FC Modular Outlet and the TP Cords
for constructing Industrial Ethernet networks (8-core) up to
100 m.
IE FC TP Cable 4x2 (AWG24)
For direct connection without using patch technology, the
IE FC RJ45 Plug 4 x 2 and the IE FC TP Cable 4 x 2 (AWG24) of
up to 90 m can be used.
IE TP Train Cable 4x2 (AWG24)
For the construction of Industrial Ethernet networks (8-core) up
to 100 m in railway applications (cable is approved for railway
applications)
Note:
Further information on the network configuration can be found in
the manual for TP and fiber-optic networks.
UL approvals
The IE FC TP cable GP 4 x 2 (AWG22 and AWG24) has the rele-
vant UL / ETL approvals for laying in cable bundles and cable
racks according to the specifications of NEC (National Electrical
Code) Article 800/725.
■
Design
The FastConnect (FC) Industrial Ethernet cables IE FC Cable
4 x 2 (AWG22 and AWG24) are designed with radial symmetry
and therefore allow the use of the IE FC Stripping Tool.
The IE FC RJ45 Modular Outlet and the IE FC RJ45 Plug 4 x 2
can then be connected quickly and easily by means of insulation
displacement contacts without the need for special tools.
