FC LAN Cables for PROFIBUS-PA 6XV1 830–5EH10 and 6XV1 830–5FH10
The LAN cables 6XV1 830–5EH10 (blue sheath) and 6XV1 830–5FH10 (black
sheath) are standard cables for PROFIBUS-PA networks. They can be used
generally for all systems using the transmission technique complying with IEC
61158-2, for example, Foundation Fieldbus and PROFIBUS-PA. They meet the
requirements of cable type A complying with IEC 61158-2 (see also Chapter 4).
The combination of twisted pairs and braid shield make the cables particularly
suitable for industrial environments subject to electromagnetic interference. The
design of the cable also guarantees stable electrical and mechanical properties
after the cable has been installed.

The structure of the cable allows the use of the FastConnect (FC) stripping tool for
fast stripping of the outer sheath. (See Section 4.2.3)
