Types of Profinet Cable

The Profinet cable produced by our company mainly include the following types

Type A ProfiNET cable

For fixed installations in which no movements will occur subsequently.

Type B ProfiNET cable

For flexible installations, in other words, installations that support occasional movements or vibrations.

Type C ProfiNET cable

For special applications in dynamic environments with constant movement, which can sometimes be torsion and flexion.

Characteristics of Profinet Cable

Ultra-Strong Shielding Protection

To combat interference sources in industrial settings, this cable employs an aluminum foil/braid double shielding structure, along with a PUR jacket that is resistant to ultraviolet (UV) exposure and oil-based lubricants. It is particularly suitable for industrial Ethernet applications with strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).

Moisture And UV Resistance

This series of cables feature a PE or TPE jacket with moisture and UV-resistant properties, making them suitable for outdoor installations to prevent damage caused by water and sunlight. Some models even allow direct burial, and certain types are designed for use in cellular base station cabling.

High Flexibility, Corrosion Resistance, And Oil Resistance

This unique series of highly flexible shielded Cat 5e cables is designed for challenging environments where regular cables may not be sufficient. It can withstand harsh conditions and does not break down when exposed to oil-based lubricants, making it ideal for robot control systems in factory workshops.

Applications of Profinet Cable

Human-machine interface (HMI)

Industrial HMI, PROFINET cable is used to achieve communication between HMI and control system.

Industrial robot

PROFINET cable is used for data transmission between robots and control systems and sensors.

Inverter

PROFINET cable is used to control the operating parameters of the inverter for real-time adjustment and control.

Industrial sensor

PROFINET cable is used to connect various intelligent sensors, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, position sensors, etc., to achieve real-time data communication with the control system.

Industrial Ethernet switches

PROFINET cables are used to connect switches and devices in industrial networks.

Category Standard	CAT5 ， CAT5E ， CAT6 , CAT6A , CAT7	CAT5E
Jacket Material	Standard PVC	PVC , PUR or drag chain cable
Jacket Color	Blue, gray, black	Green
Conductors	4 pairs 23AWG or 24AWG	2 pairs or 4 wires one star quad 22AWG
Connectors	RJ45	Industrial RJ45 and M12
Durability & Flexibility	Designed for fixed installation; not for continuous movement	Rated for continuous flexing in cable carriers, torsion, and vibration
Temperature & Environment	Ordinary environments	High and low temperature, anti-corrosion, anti-oil, and bending-resistantnti-corrosion, anti-oil, and bending-resistant
Standards & Certification	Complies with TIA/EIA or ISO/IEC for Ethernet	Meets all standard Ethernet specs plus specific industrial norms

PROFINET Cable Jacket Material Types

PVC

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is cost-effective and widely used. It works well indoors but poorly outdoors due to UV sensitivity, and it has limited chemical and oil resistance.

PUR

PUR (polyurethane) has strong resistance to UV, oil, abrasion and chemicals. It is flexible, suitable for dynamic and outdoor use. And it is ideal for robotics and outdoor motion control.

TPE

TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is excellent for extreme temperatures (both hot and cold). It is very flexible, perfect for continuous flex applications. TPE has strong resistance to moisture and weathering.

FAQ

Q: Can I use indoor PROFINET cables outdoors if I put them in conduits?

A: Yes, but it’s not recommended long-term. UV and moisture can still damage the cable over time.

Q: What’s the best jacket material for outdoor PROFINET cables?

A: PUR for durability, TPE for extreme weather and PVC only for temporary use.

Q: Do outdoor PROFINET cables need shielding?

A: Yes—especially in industrial zones with heavy EMI. Use double-shielded cables.

Q: How long do outdoor PROFINET cables last?

A: With proper installation and the right jacket, they can last 10 to 15 years outdoors.

Q: Can a PROFINET cable be used for Ethernet?

A: Yes, you can use PROFINET cable for standard Ethernet applications. PROFINET cables are essentially ruggedized, high-quality industrial Ethernet cables (typically Cat5e or higher) that use the same wiring standards and shielding as standard Ethernet, making them fully compatible with standard Ethernet switches and devices, while offering superior durability.
