How the SpliTConnect Tap Works
The SpliTConnect Tap is used to install a PROFIBUS-PA bus segment complying
with IEC 61158-2 /5/ with DTE attachment points. The FastConnect attachment
system (FastConnect stripping tool, FastConnect LAN cable for IEC 61158-2)
allows straightforward assembly of cables. DTEs can be attached directly via the
FastConnect LAN cable for IEC 61158-2 or via the SpliTConnect M12 outlet.
