The cables are intended for connecting PROFIBUS network components and signals transmission acc. to Profibus PA standard (Process Automation). Paired construction ensures good symmetry with respect to earth, while the double screen protects against interferences from external electromagnetic fields, what guarantees very good transmission quality. Cables may be used in dry and damp rooms, and are suitable for fixed installations. Blue sheathed cable is dedicated for explosion hazard zones, black sheathed one is resistant to UV radiation. Cables classified according to EN 50575 (CPR).
