Tough and reliable LAPP ETHERLINE PROFINET cables strengthen industrial networks

In modern industrial automation environments, seamless, real-time communication is essential to productivity and performance. In industry 4.0 applications, one of the most widely adopted Ethernet-based protocols is PROFINET.
To deliver high performance, interference-resistant data transmission up to 100MHz, LAPP’s ETHERLINE® PROFINET cables are globally proven in environments where reliability is critical.
“Connectivity is more than cabling. It’s the nervous system of industrial automation. LAPP’s ETHERLINE PROFINET provides engineers a solution that’s fast, resilient, and future-ready,” says LAPP Australia Senior Product Manager, Jeremy Lively.
LAPP’s ETHERLINE PROFINET cables provide:
- Real-time industrial communications with consistent data integrity
- Reduced electro-magnetic interference (EMI) for a cleaner transmission
- Resistances to oil, abrasion, and chemicals
- A compact construction for easier routing in tight spaces
- Conformance with Class B requirements
“These qualities make the ETHERLINE range ideal for industries such as factory automation, robotics, manufacturing, and utilities, where uptime and signal quality are non-negotiable,” says Lively.
Reliable partners for smart industry
With more than 60 years of global innovation in cable technology, LAPP continues to support industrial transformation through smart, sustainable, and standards-compliant solutions.
“In Australia, we keep extensive local stock for fast delivery times nationwide, and we have industrial automation experts based locally for any technical support required,” says Lively.
“The ETHERLINE PROFINET range exemplifies LAPP’s commitment to robust, future-focused connectivity,” he adds.
Highlights of the range include:
- ETHERLINE PN FLEX (PN 2170886): for flexible use in PROFINET type B networks, and also suitable for EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP applications.
- ETHERLINE PN Cat.5 (PN 2170891): for fixed installations in PROFINET type A networks, due to its solid conductor design, and also suitable for EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP applications.

ETHERLINE PN Cat.5 (PN 2170893): for fixed installations in PROFINET type A networks, due to its solid conductor design, and also suitable for EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP applications. This cable has additional UV-resistance for harsh outdoor applications.
“A major advantage of using LAPP’s ETHERLINE range is that a facility can use one communication system throughout the entire facility, meaning fewer interfaces are required to connect an unlimited number of locations,” explains Lively.
