PROFIBUS Cable Types

The recommended cable is Belden 3079A PROFIBUS Cable

This is a shielded, 150 ohm twinaxial (single twisted pair) cable. It has 22 AWG conductors and a mutual capacitance of 9.0 pF per foot, nominal. For complete specifications on this cable, please contact your Belden dealer or visit their website at www.belden.com.

Alternate cable types are:

Siemens 6XV1 830-OAH10 Two Core shielded Siemens 6XV1 830-OBH10 w/PE Sheath Siemens 6XV1 830-3AH10 for underground burial Siemens 6XV1 830-3BH10 trailing cable

Bosch Comnet DP #913 548 Flexible PROFIBUS cable Bosch Comnet DP #917 201 Trailing PROFIBUS Cable Bosch Comnet DP #917 202 Massive PROFIBUS Cable

Note: Allen Bradley “blue hose,” which has an impedance of 78 ohms, is not recommended for this application.
