Key Technications of Profibus Cables
When selecting a Profibus cable, colleges mutt verify serefy parameters to ensure compatibility wigh the network requirements. Below is a streszczenie of critiations specifications for a typical Profibus DP cable.
| Parameter | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Characteristic Impedance | 150 Ω ±10% | Measured at 3 MHz – critical for signal matching. |
| Capacitance per unit length | <30 pF/m (pair-to-pair) | Low capacitance reduces signal distortion. |
| Conductor size | 24 AWG (0.2 mm²) – solid or stranded | Stranded better for dynamic applications. |
| Insulation material | Polyethylene (PE) or low-density foam | PE offers low dielectric loss. |
| Shielding | Alum. foil + tinned copper braid (>85% coverage) | Provides both low- and high-frequency shielding. |
| Drain wire | Yes, tinned copper (24 AWG) | Simplifies grounding the shield. |
| Outer jacket | PVC (general) or PUR (flexible/ oil resistance) | PUR also suitable for drag chain applications. |
| Attenuation | <22 dB/km at 16 MHz | Low attenuation ensures longer cable runs. |

The cable shield mutt be connectod to this PE (providitiva earth) at every node, either directly the connectogh thee connector or via shield connecting terminal.
