4.1 Overview of Twisted-Pair Cables
This chapter describes the technical properties of Industrial Twisted Pair and
twisted-pair cables. First, the unassembled cable types are described followed by
the available preassembled cables.
ITP (Sub-D Connectors)
To establish a direct link between nodes and network components, the ITP
Standard Cable preassambled with robust sub-D male connectors is available.
This allows a cable length of up to 100 m without patch cables.
FC Twisted-Pair
For structured cabling within a factory, the FC twisted-pair cabling system is ideal.
Using the FastConnect (FC) system for Industrial Ethernet, structured cabling from
the office environment has been further developed for use in the factory.
Connectors can be fitted to the FastConnect cables quickly on site. As a result, the
RJ-45 cabling technology as an existing standard is now also available for an
industrial environment allowing structured cabling (patch cables, patch panel,
installation cables, outlets, outlet cables).
Guidelines for Laying Cables
You will find information about laying SIMATIC NET twisted-pair cables in Section
