High‑quality, 2‑core shielded PROFIBUS FC cable by Siemens—ideal for reliable industrial bus communication, sold by the meter.
Product Overview
The Siemens 6XV1830‑0EH10 is a PROFIBUS FC Standard Cable GP: a 2‑core, shielded, 150 Ω bus cable engineered for fast, permanent installation. Available up to 1 000 m length (min. 20 m), it’s silicone‑free and flame‑resistant, ensuring EMC integrity in industrial settings.

How to Use
- Measure required length (≥20 m).
- Cut cable, strip shield and conductors per FastConnect specs.
- Attach PROFIBUS connectors (e.g., 6ES7972‑0BB52‑0XA0).
- Ground the shield at termination ends.
- Route cable avoiding EMI sources; maintain minimum bend radius (37.5 mm single, 75 mm repeated) .
- Test continuity and impedance compliance using PROFIBUS tester.
