Siemens SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS manual Functions, Designed for Industry

Passive Components for RS-485 Networks

Functions

The FastConnect stripping system allows PROFIBUS connectors to be fitted to PROFIBUS LAN cables extremely quickly.

The design of the FastConnect LAN cables allows the use of the FastConnect stripping tool with which the outer sheath and braid shield can be removed precisely in one step. Once the cable has been prepared in this way, the FastConnect bus connectors can be fitted using the insulation displacement system.

Designed for Industry

SReduction of the assembly times for attaching DTEs by removing the outer sheath and braid shield in one step.

SSimple connector fitting with the preset FC stripping tool.

SCorrect contact in the PROFIBUS FC connector can be checked without opening the connector thanks to the transparent cover of the insulation displacement terminals and color coding for the core assignment.
