Permissible cable diameter 8 mm + 0.5 mm
Connector features
The bus connector is used to connect the PROFIBUS cable to the PROFIBUS DP interfaces
(X126, X136), thus establishing a connection to additional nodes.
Only bus connectors with a 35° cable outlet should be used in order to ensure that the front
cover can be closed.
