What is PROFInet? Top 4 PROFInet cables for industrial networks
PROFInet signal cables are widely used in many industries and play an important role in transmitting signals from machinery and equipment to the control center. Depending on the installation environment and specific requirements, you can choose one of the corresponding PROFInet signal cables.
1. What is Profinet?
Profinet (often abbreviated as PROFInet, as an acronym for Process Field Net) is an industry technical standard for data transmission over industrial Ethernet, designed to collect data from and control equipment in industrial systems, with exceptional strength in delivering data under tight time constraints (on the order of 1 ms or less). This standard is maintained and supported by PROFIBUS & PROFInet International (PI), an organization based in Karlsruhe, Germany.
