Support fast, reliable industrial communication with PROFINET connectors built for stable data transmission across automation networks.
YT Automation supplies industrial-grade PROFINET connectors for machine builders, system integrators, and OEMs. Our range supports new installations and seamless retrofits, ensuring durable, field-ready Industrial Ethernet connectivity.
The 700-901-1BB30 is a 4-pole PROFINET RJ45 connector with a 145° angled cable outlet that provides a practical balance between straight and side-entry routing. It supports data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s and uses the same PROFINET cable specifications as the 180° variant. The angled design helps reduce cable strain and is particularly useful in shallow enclosures where a straight connector may interfere with the cabinet door.
The 700-901-1BB22 is an 8-pole Gigabit Industrial Ethernet RJ45 connector with a 90° cable outlet for space-constrained installations. It supports 10, 100, and 1000 Mbit/s transmission and is suitable for Cat 6 industrial Ethernet cabling. The angled outlet reduces the required depth behind the port, while the EasyConnect® system supports quick, tool-free assembly in compact panels and network enclosures.
The 700-901-1BB20 is a 4-pole PROFINET RJ45 connector with a 90° side cable outlet for installations where space behind the device is limited. Supporting data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s, it helps reduce installation depth and is well suited to dense control panels, cable carriers, drag chains, and moving-axis applications. Its EasyConnect® design also enables fast, tool-free termination on site.
The 700-901-1BB12 is an 8-pole Industrial Ethernet RJ45 connector designed for Gigabit applications requiring higher bandwidth than a standard 4-pole PROFINET connection. It supports 10, 100, and 1000 Mbit/s transmission over Cat 6 industrial Ethernet cables with 8 x 24 AWG conductors and an outer diameter of 6.8 to 8.2 mm. The straight 180° outlet, metal housing, IP20 protection, and tool-free EasyConnect® assembly make it a practical choice for reliable high-speed network connections.
The 700-901-1BB10 is a 4-pole PROFINET RJ45 connector with a straight 180° cable outlet, making it suitable for standard installations where the cable runs directly in line with the port. It supports data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s and accommodates 4-core PROFINET cables in 24 or 22 AWG with an outer diameter of 6.2 to 6.7 mm. Its colour-coded EasyConnect® design allows quick, tool-free termination for PROFINET, Modbus, and EtherCAT networks.
PROFINET is a real-time Industrial Ethernet standard designed for high-speed, deterministic communication in factory and process automation. It enables fast, synchronised data exchange between PLCs, I/O modules, drives, motion systems, and controllers, making it ideal for robotics, automotive lines, machine building, and brownfield upgrades. Because PROFINET operates in real time, network reliability hinges not just on devices and controllers, but also on industrial-grade connectors and resilient cabling infrastructure to maintain stable, low-latency communication across the automation layer.
PROFINET connectors form the critical link at the field level, ensuring stable, high-speed, and interference-resistant communication between controllers and industrial devices. Built for harsh operating conditions, they deliver secure, scalable, and future-ready connectivity for reliable automation networks.
Engineered for low signal loss and deterministic performance, PROFINET connectors maintain consistent real-time data exchange between PLCs, I/O devices, and motion systems at the field layer.
With robust housings, vibration resistance, and strong EMC shielding, these connectors are designed to withstand dust, moisture, mechanical stress, and electrical noise commonly found in industrial sites.
Featuring firm locking mechanisms and support for high-bandwidth Ethernet, PROFINET connectors provide secure connections today while enabling scalability and network upgrades for tomorrow’s industrial demands.
Our PROFINET connectors are designed to deliver reliable performance, durability, and compatibility across industrial automation networks.
Available in RJ45, M12, and modular designs, our connectors suit various device interfaces and installation needs, making them versatile for new or upgraded networks.
Equipped with EMC shielding and high-quality contacts, they ensure low signal loss and stable, deterministic data transmission in demanding industrial environments.
Built to withstand vibration, dust, moisture, and temperature extremes, our connectors provide robust, long-lasting performance in harsh factory and process conditions.
In modern factories, multiple industrial protocols often operate together. PROFINET acts as the backbone for real-time automation, connecting seamlessly with other systems via gateways and couplers for integrated operations.
PROFINET can exchange real-time data with MQTT brokers, enabling IIoT applications and MES systems to monitor and optimise production processes efficiently.
Through gateways, PROFINET interfaces with ModbusTCP and Ethernet/IP networks, allowing smooth data flow between legacy and modern devices without disrupting automation performance.
PROFINET integrates with EtherCAT systems for high-speed motion control, ensuring synchronised operation across different automation subsystems in complex industrial setups.
Selecting the right PROFINET connector ensures reliable network performance and long-term durability in industrial automation systems.
Consider temperature, humidity, vibration, and exposure to dust or chemicals to choose connectors built for your specific operating conditions.
Assess the network topology, data speed requirements, and protocol compatibility to ensure seamless communication across devices.
Evaluate available space, mounting options, and cable routing to select connectors that fit securely without compromising accessibility or performance.
PROFINET connectors are industrial-grade, designed for harsh environments with enhanced shielding, vibration resistance, and secure locking mechanisms to maintain reliable real-time communication.
Yes. They support brownfield upgrades, allowing seamless integration with existing devices and networks without compromising performance.
Check for connector type (RJ45, M12, etc.), data rate support, and protocol compliance. Using industrial-grade connectors from trusted suppliers ensures compatibility and reliability.
Minimal maintenance is needed. Regular inspection for physical damage, dust, and secure connections ensures consistent network performance and longevity.
A copper PROFINET segment can typically run up to 100 metres, which is the standard distance limit for Industrial Ethernet cabling. Longer connections require an additional switch to create a new segment or a fibre link for greater transmission distances.
No. The 4-pole PROFINET connector is designed for PROFINET cable with four 24 or 22 AWG conductors and an outer diameter of 6.2 to 6.7 mm. Cat 6 cable normally uses eight conductors and has a larger outer diameter of 6.8 to 8.2 mm, so it requires the 8-pole Industrial Ethernet connector instead.
No. EasyConnect® uses insulation displacement termination, allowing the conductors to be placed directly into the contact block before the housing is closed. The individual cores do not need to be stripped or crimped, making it easier to terminate cables inside control panels and other confined spaces.
Yes. The contacts accept both solid and stranded conductors, allowing the same connector to be used with fixed installation cables or flexible cables installed on moving equipment.
The RJ45 connector can be unplugged and reconnected as needed. However, the cable termination is intended to be completed once. If the connector is removed from the cable, replacing it is recommended rather than re-terminating it on a critical network connection.
A connector terminates the cable, but a complete PROFINET segment also requires the right network components. Managed switches help prioritise PROFINET telegrams so real-time traffic is not delayed by general network data. Couplers allow machines using different fieldbus standards to exchange data, while gateways connect devices and protocols such as CAN and MQTT to the wider architecture.
