Cables for PROFIBUS RS485 networks
5.5 FC food cable (PE jacket)
PROFIBUS Network Manual
122 System Manual, Edition 04/2009, C79000-G8976-C124-03
Properties
The characteristics of the jacket material differ from those of the standard bus cable as
follows:
● The material is free of halogens
● Not resistant to UV radiation
● The jacket material is flame resistant
Use
The bus cable with the halogen-free outer jacket is particularly suitable for use inside
buildings.

Figure 5-4 Structure of the bus cable with PE jacket
FC bus cable with PE jacket 6XV1 830-0GH10
The FC bus cable with a PE jacket 6XV1 830-0GH10 complies with the specification
IEC 61158-2 / EN 61158-2, cable type A, with solid copper cores (AWG 22). The inner
structure of the cable (cores, filler, shielding) is identical to that of the standard cable.
The structure of the cable allows the use of the FastConnect (FC) stripping tool for fast
stripping of the PROFIBUS cable, see Section
Installation instructions for SIMATIC NET
PROFIBUS FAST CONNECT (Page
138).
Properties
The properties of the polyethylene (PE) jacket differ from those of the standard bus cable as
follows:
● Improved resistance to abrasion
● Improved resistance to oil and lubricants
● Resistant to UV radiation
