FC LAN Cables for PROFIBUS-PA 6XV1 830–5EH10 and 6XV1 830–5FH10

The LAN cables 6XV1 830–5EH10 (blue sheath) and 6XV1 830–5FH10 (black sheath) are standard cables for PROFIBUS-PA networks. They can be used generally for all systems using the transmission technique complying with IEC 61158-2, for example, Foundation Fieldbus and PROFIBUS-PA. They meet the requirements of cable type A complying with IEC 61158-2 (see also Chapter 4). The combination of twisted pairs and braid shield make the cables particularly suitable for industrial environments subject to electromagnetic interference. The design of the cable also guarantees stable electrical and mechanical properties after the cable has been installed.

The structure of the cable allows the use of the FastConnect (FC) stripping tool for fast stripping of the outer sheath. (See Section 4.2.3)
