New family of cables for Industrial Ethernet
Providing reliable industrial data transmission
Oct 29, 2024
Datwyler’s new family of cables for Industrial Ethernet (IE) applications includes four robust copper data cables that have been specially developed for factory automation and industrial environments. The new additions to the portfolio are an extremely flexible drag chain cable for robotic applications, two Category 5e Profinet cables and another Category 7 Profinet cable. The IE cables have UL approval and are certified for use in machines.
The extremely flexible four-pair cable “CU 5431 4P HFLEX Industrial Ethernet PUR UL” has been developed specifically for drag chains and machine parts. With its sturdy construction it is designed for bending cycles and can withstand torsional loads – properties which are essential in robotic applications in particular. As a flexible Category 5e data cable (AWG 26/19) with EMC screening it supports the transmission of analogue and digital signals up to 100 MHz, enabling fast information exchange of up to 1 gigabyte per second (Gbit/s). Its robust, oil-resistant PUR sheath also means it is optimally suited for use in a harsh industrial environment.
In addition to this are the three new Profinet cables “CU 5711 2P Profinet Type A PVC UL” and “CU 5722 2P flex Profinet Typ B PUR UL” – both Category 5e – and the four-pair “CU 7611 4P flex Profinet Typ A PUR UL”, a Category 7 cable designed for fast, reliable connection (fast connect) and Profinet RJ45 and M12 plug systems. They are available from Datwyler with a green sheath as standard.
The new cable family meets the highest demands for flexible, robust Industrial Ethernet communication.
