This handy unit lets you connect multiple devices on the same bus to reduce cabling. With PROFIBUS, it transmits data at speeds up to 12Mbit/s for lightning-fast transfers. You can use this connector in applications such as factory automation, agricultural processing and transportation infrastructure.

• Robust metal housing is durable and resistant to corrosion in humid settings
• Operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C means it's suitable for extreme environments
• IP67 rating indicates it's dust-tight and waterproof
• B-coded for use with network cables
• Compatible with ET200 Pro Series PLC (203-4174)

There are five units in a pack, so you'll have enough on hand for complex setups or to keep as spares.

It has integrated insulation displacement contacts. These cut through the insulation during fitting, so all you need to do is push the cable onto the end for an airtight seal.
