As far as i know, pin arrengment are similar for both ethernet and profinet( pins: 1,2,3,6) and only bandwith and speed is different. Best regards.

Profinet cables are industrial Ethernet cables, sometimes referred to as industrial Cat5 or two-pair Cat5, for the cabling of industrial fieldbus systems with the globally accepted TCP/IP protocol. They are suitable for fixed or dynamic flexible industrial automation applications and they offer excellent active and passive electrical interference resistance as required by Profinet system and Cat5e specifications. These cables are widely used in drive technology such as transport and conveyors, and machine tool manufacturing.
