Functions
The FastConnect stripping system allows PROFIBUS connectors to be fitted to
PROFIBUS LAN cables extremely quickly.
The design of the FastConnect LAN cables allows the use of the FastConnect
stripping tool with which the outer sheath and braid shield can be removed
precisely in one step. Once the cable has been prepared in this way, the
FastConnect bus connectors can be fitted using the insulation displacement
system.
Designed for Industry
S
Reduction of the assembly times for attaching DTEs by removing the outer
sheath and braid shield in one step.
S
Simple connector fitting with the preset FC stripping tool.
S
Correct contact in the PROFIBUS FC connector can be checked without
opening the connector thanks to the transparent cover of the insulation
displacement terminals and color coding for the core assignment.

FastConnect Bus Connector
Uses
You require bus connectors to attach PROFIBUS cables to 9-pin sub-D interfaces.
Within the FastConnect system, there are various bus connectors with degree of
protection IP 20. The different applications for these connectors are shown in Table
4-3.
