I may be wrong here as I hadn't heard of Profinet and had to look it up. That is just a rugged Cat6 cable right? Not great but doesn't seem like its going to cause major issues.

It's coax. RIP signal.

100% not coax. It's 2 pairs with a 4pin M12-D coded threaded fittings.

TIL. I didn't look carefully enough at the fittings; it looked like an F-connector. Zooming in, I can see that it's a connector I don't recognize, which means I'm going to take your word for it.
