FC Standard Cable 6XV1 830-0EH10
The LAN cable with the order number 6XV1 830-0EH10 is the FastConnect
standard LAN cable for SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS networks. It meets the
requirements of EN 50170, cable type A, with solid copper cores (22 gauge).
The combination of twisted wires, foil shield and braid shield make the cable
particularly suitable for industrial environments subject to electromagnetic
interference. The design of the cable also guarantees stable electrical and
mechanical data after the cable has been installed.
The FastConnect LAN cable 6XV1 830-0EH10 is UL listed.
The structure of the cable allows the use of the FastConnect (FC) stripping tool for
fast stripping of the cable (see Section 4.2.3).
Properties
Due to the composition of the sheath material, the LAN cable has the following
characteristics:
S
Flame-retardant
S
Self-extinguishing in case of fire
S
Conditionally resistant to mineral oil and greases
S
Sheath material not free of halogens
Uses
The LAN cable is intended for fixed installation in buildings (in-house cabling).
