Loop resistance 115 /km
Workingcapacitance 30 nF/km
Attenuation 0.9 dB/100m (f= 200 kHz)
Permissible core cross-section 0.3m m2to 0.5 mm2
Permissible cable diameter 8mm±0.5mm

Rules for Laying Cables

When you lay the PROFIBUS-DP bus cable, you should not:
Twist it ,
Stretch it, or
Compress it.
Furthermore, when installing the indoor bus cable, you must observe the following
basic conditions (dA= outer diameter of the cable):
Characteristics Boundary
Conditions
Bending radius for single bend 80 mm (10 x dA)
Bending radius for repeated bends 160 mm (20 x dA)
Permissible temperature range for installation -- 5 _Cto+50_C
Storage and stationary operating temperature range -- 30 _Cto+65_C
