This data cable from Siemens is an industrial-grade insulated wire that transfers electrical data from equipment and machinery. As a PROFIBUS (process field bus) cable, it's commonly used in industrial automation along with a PLC (programmable logic controller) to assist in data transfer to control modules. With its two core wires, it allows for the transmission of data and power through one cable to maximise space efficiency. The cable is shielded with an overlapped aluminium foil sheathed in a braided screen of tin-plated copper wires, preventing NEXT (near-end cross talk) and EMI (electromagnetic interference) and optimising signal quality.

• Tough PVC outer sheath material resists tears caused by bending or pulling
• PE (polyethene) wire insulation material to prevent contaminants from degrading the wires
• Flame-resistant characteristics reduce the spread of fire and keep surrounding equipment safe
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C for use in tough industrial conditions

This cable has a 20m length to provide an extended reach across work areas. It has an outer diameter of 8mm, so it doesn't take up a lot of room and can fit through tight spaces.
