Profinet Cables
A Profinet cable is a data cable that connects devices in industrial Ethernet-based Profinet networks, mostly with two pairs (four cores), shielded, and recognized by its green sheath. It is used in connections between PLCs, operator panels, remote I/O modules, drives and industrial switches, inside panels and along machine lines. In this category, Profinet Type A cables in a 2x2x22 AWG construction, made by Mekas and Birtaş, are sold by the meter. Choose the cable type according to the installation method: Type A is for fixed installation, Type B for flexible use, and Type C for continuously moving and special applications; choose the sheath material according to the environment and the connector according to the RJ45 or M12 port. It should not be confused with a four-pair office-type CAT cable: Profinet Type A is a two-pair cable with a 22 AWG solid conductor, shielded for industrial environments.

How to choose Profinet Cables
A Profinet cable is a data cable that connects devices in industrial Ethernet-based Profinet networks, mostly with two pairs (four cores), shielded, and recognized by its green sheath. It is used in connections between PLCs, operator panels, remote I/O modules, drives and industrial switches, inside panels and along machine lines.
- Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
- Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
- Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
