Cable, Connectors and Tools
We offer a wide range of PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS PA and PROFINET cables to cater for different application requirements. In addition to the Standard Fast Connect (FC) PROFIBUS DP cable for most fixed installations, we also cater for underground cable, anti-rodent cable, flexible cable, trailing cable, festoon cable, EMC cable and armoured cable.
PROFIBUS PA cables, mostly with blue or black outer sheaths, have heavier gauge conductors, and are offered with solid conductors for fixed installations or stranded conductors for flexible application and with further EMC and direct burial options. We can supply in standard reel or cut lengths, as needed, often with next day delivery available. Please call to discuss your particular requirements.
We stock or can quickly arrange delivery of PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS PA and PROFINET cable connectors from several different high specification manufacturers, including Siemens, Wago, Lapp (Epic), Profichip and Provertha. In the 9-pin D range, we cover the most frequently used 90, 180 degree options, with and without piggy-back test connectors – with other formats also available for special order. We also cover a wide range of different plug housing materials from plain plastic, to metallised plastic and all metal constructions for durability and best EMC protection.
Useful Profichip FC diagnostic connectors are offered in 45, 90 and 180 degree formats, with bus status continuously displayed on LED indicators.
All of the above connectors are certified for IP20 specification.
We also offer PROFIBUS cable screen clamps in Tee bar format, as in left photo below. Previously listed mid-cable connections, as needed for entry to cabinets, as following photo to right are no longer available once our current small stock sold.
