Siemens BUS Connector for Use with PROFIBUS bus cable

Network your PLC devices using this BUS connector from Siemens. It has a standard 9-pin D-Sub connector and accepts two PROFIBUS cables. This means you can extend your communication network and connect between remote devices. As it uses a FastConnect system with insulation displacement contacts, it's quick and easy to assemble. There's clear labelling and colour coding on the connector housing to help you wire your cables correctly. An integrated resistor minimises signal reflections and a slide switch makes it easy to change between continuing and ending your network line. BUS connectors are a practical accessory for automated networks in manufacturing and processing industries. You'll find them used in the automotive, food and pharmaceutical sectors.

• Wide operating temperature range between -25°C and +60°C for use in demanding environments
• IP20 rating indicates protection against objects over 12mm in size
• Strain relief protects cables from damage caused by bending or twisting

This BUS connector has a data transfer rate between 9.6kbit/s and 12Mbit/s, depending on your network set up.
