Do DP cables from PROFIBUS always have a violet color?
No, due to certain applications, insulation classes or degrees of protection, the DP cables from PROFIBUS can also have different colors.
No. The violet color for PROFIBUS DP cable was the standard color set by PI to differentiate the PROFIBUS DP line among other lines. It doesn't always need to be violet. The violet colored cable is mainly used for standard indoor application with varying shades of violet per application, which does not affect the cable itself. The Sheath color will only vary depending on its application, mainly when it's for outdoor installations where the sheath color is usually black, be it direct burial or hanging. The black color will act as the cable's UV protection since it's installed outdoors.
