Cabling solution for AIDA/PROFINET
FreeCon cabling components
PROFINET – The basis
The wiring components for copper and bre-optic cables are 
designed and tested for use in harsh industrial environments. 
In the PROFINET guidelines the interfaces to be used are 
clearly dened so as to ensure interoperability between 
systems. For PROFINET this is guaranteed through the 
manufacturer's declaration. Comprehensive protection 
against electromagnetic interference is achieved through the 
use of high-quality shielding of both cables and connection 
components. Signicant system reserves are offered through 
the quad-star stranding of the cables and their wire cross-
section of AWG 22. Minimal signal propagation time 
differences resulting from the cable structure guarantee 
stable real-time transmission, for applications such as 
PROFINET IRT. At the same time, the cables offer high crush 
resistance for reliable installation in industrial applications.
The cabling components are also easy to handle in the 
eld. This means that the plug-in connectors for copper and 
bre-optic cables can all be assembled on site. This reduces 
installation times, eliminates errors and simplies main-
tenance.
Based on PROFINET technology, Weidmüller offers cabling 
and connection components for the industrial environment. 
This ensures compatibility between different systems 
and guarantees fast data communication in real time. The 
FreeCon junction boxes also provide you an extremely exible 
installation system for robotic cabling and other industrial 
applications.
