Industrial Ethernet offers plenty of flexibility when it
comes to designing complex automation networks.
Until recently, you couldn't say the same about data cables used in
these networks.
CAT 5e Ethernet cables have traditionally been intended for
stationary applications. And in the early days of industrial Ethernet, that
limitation didn't matter much. Modern automation systems, however, increasingly
require a new breed of Industrial Ethernet cables that can withstand more
flexible conditions.
Our new ETHERLINE® Tray cable has been designed with
flexibility in mind. With its PLTC
rating, the ETHERLINE® Tray can be used in cable trays, interconnecting the
Industrial Platform with the Commercial Infrastructure. The new ETHERLINE cable features four twisted
pairs of stranded copper, and can handle gigabit speeds.
Reliable Data
Transmission. Reliable data
transmission is a must-have if you want to control production equipment over an
Ethernet network. Unfortunately the electrical noise that pervades most
manufacturing environments makes error-free data transmission a challenge. The
new ETHERLINE cables combat electrical noise with a rugged, flex-friendly foil
and braid EMI shield.
The construction of the Etherline Tray CAT.5e consists of a
polyolefin-based insulation and a PVC jacket. The cable has a 600V rating
making it ideal for tray applications alongside power cables. When used in
flexible applications, the cable can withstand operating temperature from -25
to 80ºC. They have a characteristic
impedance of 100 Ω, ±15 Ω, at 100 MHz.
Important Approvals.
The new ETHERLINE cables have a wide range of approvals, which lets them serve
in many different settings. These approvals include:
- CMR per UL 444
- CMG per UL 444
- PLTC per UL 13
- AWM 2570 80°C 600V
- c(UL) CMG
- RoHS II
