FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

Why use PROFINET Type B (AWG 22/7) instead of PROFINET Type A (AWG 22/1)?
On vibrating presses, conveyors, machine tools, or hinged control cabinet doors, the single solid copper wire of PROFINET Type A can suffer metal fatigue and fracture at connector entry points. PROFINET Type B replaces the solid conductor with a 7-strand tinned copper conductor (7×0.25 mm) that absorbs machine vibration and occasional flexing.
Are standard FastConnect RJ45 and M12 connectors compatible with PROFINET Type B?
Yes. Both the 0.75 mm 7-strand conductor diameter and the 6.5 mm outer sheath diameter are engineered to fit standard PROFINET FastConnect insulation-displacement (IDC) RJ45 plugs and M12 D-coded field connectors. Each production reel undergoes 100 % characteristic impedance verification, mutual capacitance and DC loop resistance testing, and dielectric spark/withstand inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate.
What is the maximum recommended link length for PROFINET Type B?
Due to the slightly higher high-frequency skin-effect attenuation of 7-strand tinned copper (21.8 dB/100m at 100 MHz vs. 19.5 dB/100m for Type A), PNO guidelines support channel lengths up to 85–100 m depending on ambient temperature and patch cord count. Each production reel undergoes 100 % characteristic impedance verification, mutual capacitance and DC loop resistance testing, and dielectric spark/withstand inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate.
When should I step up from PROFINET Type B to PROFINET Type C?
Use Type B for vibrating machines, festooned cabinet doors, and occasional repositioning. Whenever the cable runs inside an automated linear drag chain (energy chain) or undergoes multi-million-cycle robotic torsion, specify PROFINET Type C (AWG 22/19). Each production reel undergoes 100 % characteristic impedance verification, mutual capacitance and DC loop resistance testing, and dielectric spark/withstand inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 certificate.
