Installation of bus cables
When you install PROFIBUS cables, you must not
• twist,
• stretch
• or compress them.
When wiring indoor bus cables, also maintain the following marginal conditions (d
cable diameter):
Table 4-23
Characteristics
Bending radius (one-off)
Bending radius (multiple times)
Permitted temperature range during installation
Shelf and static operating temperature range
Reference
For information on the use of fiber-optic cables for PROFIBUS, refer to the SIMATIC NET,
PROFIBUS Networks Manual.

Fields of application
You need bus connectors to connect the PROFIBUS cable to an MPI or PROFIBUS-DP
interface
You do not require a bus connector for:
• DP slaves with degree of protection IP 65 (ET 200X, for example)
• RS 485 repeater.
