How the SpliTConnect Tap Works

The SpliTConnect Tap is used to install a PROFIBUS-PA bus segment complying with IEC 61158-2 /5/ with DTE attachment points. The FastConnect attachment system (FastConnect stripping tool, FastConnect LAN cable for IEC 61158-2) allows straightforward assembly of cables. DTEs can be attached directly via the FastConnect LAN cable for IEC 61158-2 or via the SpliTConnect M12 outlet.
