Cable Construction and Materials

This cable uses shielded twisted-pair conductors for noise immunity. The PE insulation provides excellent dielectric properties for signal transmission. The PVC jacket offers durability and resistance to industrial environments. Stranded copper conductors maintain flexibility for routing in cabinets.

Transmission Performance and Signal Integrity

The cable impedance of 150 Ω matches standard PROFIBUS requirements. Low capacitance of 30 pF/m preserves signal quality over distance. Attenuation remains below 0.5 dB per 100 meters at 1 MHz. This performance ensures reliable communication over 50-meter spans.

Connector Design and Installation

9-pin D-sub connectors on both ends provide secure connections. The connectors feature screw-locking for vibration resistance. Users simply plug the cable into IM module ports. This design simplifies system assembly and maintenance.

Mechanical Durability and Bending

Static bending radius of 60 mm suits cabinet installations. Dynamic bending radius of 120 mm supports occasional flexing. The robust construction withstands normal industrial handling. This durability ensures long service life.

Environmental Resistance and Operating Range

The cable operates from -40°C to +70°C for wide temperature coverage. Storage temperatures range from -50°C to +80°C. The blue PVC jacket resists oil and chemicals. This environment resistance supports use in various plant conditions.

Certifications and Standards Compliance

The 6ES7468-1CC50-0AA0 holds CE, UL, and cULus certifications. These approvals confirm compliance with international safety standards. Each cable undergoes continuity and impedance testing. This quality assurance ensures reliable field performance.
