Profinet Type B cable is intended for industrial Ethernet routes that need flexibility. This range includes a data-only cable and a hybrid construction combining data cores with four power conductors. Stranded tinned copper data conductors, foil and copper braid screening, and PVC or FRNC sheath options allow the assembly to be matched to the equipment connection.

Stranded AWG 22/7 tinned copper data conductors.
Separate data-only and data-plus-power constructions.
Green PVC or FRNC outer sheath; 100 ± 15 ohms impedance at 1–100 MHz.
State whether the connection requires data only or a combined data and power cable. The nominal diameters are 6.5 mm and 10.3 mm respectively, so connector sealing and strain relief must match the selected construction. Define the movement duty with the installation; dedicated drag-chain options appear in the related B+C range.

What are the two constructions on this page?
A data-only cable for flexible use and a hybrid version that adds four power conductors to the data assembly.
Are the data conductors tinned?
Yes. Both versions use stranded tinned copper data conductors designated AWG 22/7.
Which sheath materials are listed?
PVC or FRNC, with green as the outer sheath colour.
How much larger is the hybrid cable?
The data-only cable is 6.5 ± 0.2 mm in diameter; the hybrid cable is 10.3 ± 0.3 mm.
What laying bend radius is listed?
The technical data specifies 10 times the overall cable diameter.
