The Vipa 972-0DP01 is a high-performance PROFIBUS DP connector engineered for reliability and ease of use in industrial automation environments. It features the convenient FastConnect technology, which utilizes insulation displacement connection (IDC) to allow for rapid and secure cable termination without the need for wire stripping, significantly reducing installation time. The connector’s 90-degree angled cable outlet is perfect for applications with limited space. A key feature is the integrated, switchable terminating resistor, which can be easily activated or deactivated via an external switch, simplifying network configuration and maintenance. Additionally, it includes an integrated PG (Programming Device) port, enabling the connection of diagnostic tools or programming devices without interrupting bus communication. Its robust, metalized housing provides excellent EMC shielding, ensuring stable and interference-free data transmission up to 12 Mbit/s.
