830-2 Connecting Cable

Uses
The 830-2 connecting cable is a preassembled cable for fast and cost-effective
attachment of PROFIBUS nodes (for example HMI) to programmable controllers
for transmission rates up to 12 Mbps.
Design
The 830-2 connecting cable consists of the PROFIBUS standard cable. It has a
9-pin sub-D male connector with a straight cable outlet at one end and a 9-pin
sub-D male connector with a 90 cable outlet at the other. The connector with the
90 cable outlet is equipped with a PG interface. The terminating resistors can be
activated in both connectors. The cable is available in lengths of 3 m, 5 m and
10m.
