Electrical transmission media

Terminals can be connected through industrial twisted pairs (ITPs). The preassembled ITP standard cable with Sub-D connectors is available for connection between stations and network components. Line lengths of up to 100 m can be achieved while saving on patch technology.

The ITP standard cable 9/15 is equipped with a 9-pin and a 15-pin connector. The cable is used for direct connection of terminals with ITP interface to Industrial Ethernet components with ITP interface.

The ITP XP standard cable 9/9 is equipped with two 9-pin connectors. This cable is crossed for direct connection of two Industrial Ethernet network components with ITP interface.

The ITP XP standard cable 15/15 is equipped with two 15-pin connectors. This cable is crossed for direct connection of two terminals with ITP interface.

The Industrial Ethernet ITP connectors have Sub-D connectors made of metal and are available in two versions:

• 9-pin plug with straight cable outlet
• 15?pin plug with variable cable outlet, for connection to terminals with ITP interface

Alternatively, the terminals can also be connected to twisted pair (TP cord) cables. Detailed information on the TP cords can be found in Catalog IK PI, in the Industry Mall, or in Catalog CA 01 under "Industrial Communication".
