Helukabel HELUKAT PROFInet A Cat.5e Industrial Ethernet Cable
Description
The Helukabel HELUKAT PROFInet A CAT.5e SF/UTP PVC STATIC is a green, double-screened Industrial Ethernet cable for fixed installation, built as PROFINET Type A and FastConnect (SK) capable. Two star-quad pairs (AWG 22/1 solid copper conductors) are wrapped in aluminium foil and a tinned-copper braid, then sheathed in highly flame-retardant PVC. It is the usual cable between PROFINET field devices, switches and controllers in a panel-to-panel or plant-floor network that does not move after installation.

Choosing between PROFINET types
PROFINET defines cable types by how they are used. Type A is for normal fixed installation, as on this part. Helukabel lists separate cables in the same family for other duties: Type B for flexible installation with occasional movement, Type C for drag chains, and a version with an armoured PE sheath for direct burial. Choosing a fixed-installation cable for a moving machine part will lead to broken conductors, so confirm the movement class of the route first.
The data sheet states that the cable can be used under the harshest industrial conditions, with the PVC sheath resistant to oil, UV and microbes. Because the conductors are solid AWG 22/1, terminate them with FastConnect connectors or insulation-displacement fittings made for solid wire, and keep the screen continuous. Total channel length and component count should be checked against the Cat. 5e channel limits in the PROFINET installation guideline.

About brand
HELUKABEL is the German manufacturer and supplier of cables, wires and cable accessories, with a range that covers control, power, data, fire-resistant and drag-chain cables. Helmut Luksch and his wife founded the company in 1978 in Hemmingen, near Stuttgart. The name combines the first letters of his first and last name (HElmut LUksch) with the word for cable (Kabel). It has made its own cables since 1988.
Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat. We list HELUKABEL control, power, VFD, data and fire-resistant cables and supply them to contractors, panel builders and plants in Oman and the GCC by type, cross-section and length.

| TOPFLEX-EMV-3-PLUS, TOPFLEX-EMV-UV, TOPFLEX 611-C-PUR | Screened motor cables | Connecting motors to variable speed drives and servo drives with low interference |
| (N)HXH-FE 180/E 90, JE-H(St)H Bd FE 180 | Fire-resistant cables | Safety circuits, fire alarm systems and emergency power that must keep working in a fire |
| PAAR-TRONIC-CY, SUPER-PAAR-TRONIC-C-PUR, OZ-BL-CY | Signal and instrument cables | Measurement signals, drag chains, and blue-sheathed intrinsically safe circuits |
| H07RN-F, H01N2-D | Rubber cables | Mobile equipment, temporary power and arc welding |
The code on a European cable describes its build. In NYY-J, N means a standard type, Y a PVC insulation and sheath, and J a green-yellow earth core. In N2XH, 2X is XLPE insulation and H a halogen-free sheath. A C or CY in the name marks a copper braid screen. FE 180 and E 90 are the fire tests: insulation integrity for 180 minutes and circuit function for 90 minutes as an installed system.
Where HELUKABEL cables are used
In Oman and the GCC, HELUKABEL cables are used in oil and gas and process plants, motor control centres and VFD installations, building fire alarm and life safety systems, machinery and cranes, and water and power infrastructure.
Ordering HELUKABEL cables: what we need
Send the cable type, the number of cores and cross-section (for example 4G2.5 or 3x150+70), the length, and whether you need a specific standard or certificate. For fire-resistant cables, add the required test (FE 180, E 30 or E 90).
