Robust Construction for Demanding EnvironmentsThese cables feature UV-resistant PVC outer jackets with a thickness of at least 1.5 mm, providing superior protection against harsh weather and industrial environments. With a flame test rating of UL VW-1 and a fire rating of IEC 60332-1, they ensure maximum safety and compliance wherever installed.
Versatile Applications in Industrial AutomationDevice Net Cables are designed for reliable network protocol communication in PLCs, industrial automation setups, and sensor networks. They support both digital and analog signals and are available in custom lengths and configurations to suit fixed or flexible installations.
Exceptional Performance and ReliabilityEngineered with stranded copper cores, these cables provide low capacitance (<60 pF/m), high impedance (120 Ohm nominal), and superior shielding effectiveness (>80 dB), minimizing voltage drops and electromagnetic interference for consistent communication.
FAQs of Device Net Cables:
Q: How do Device Net Cables maintain signal quality in industrial settings?
A: Device Net Cables utilize twisted pair shielded multi-core designs with tinned copper braiding, ensuring more than 80 dB screening effectiveness. This significantly reduces EMI/RFI interference, maintaining stable digital and analog signal transmission even in high-noise environments.
Q: What installation options are available for these cables?
A: Device Net Cables can be installed in both fixed and flexible setups. Their minimum bend radius of five times the cable diameter allows for easy routing, while the robust construction and locking M8/M12 connectors ensure secure connections in industrial environments.
Q: When should I consider using Device Net Cables for my automation system?
A: These cables are recommended when reliable, secure communication is necessary between PLCs and sensors, particularly in environments requiring fire retardancy, oil resistance, and superior EMI/RFI shielding. Custom lengths and core configurations offer adaptability for your automation needs.
Q: Where are these cables typically used?
A: Device Net Cables are widely used in industrial automation, PLCs, sensor networks, and communication systems, particularly in settings where flame retardancy, UV resistance, and oil resistance are critical for safety and durability.
Q: What benefits do the flame retardant and UV resistant properties offer?
A: Flame retardant ratings (UL VW-1 and IEC 60332-1) enhance fire safety, while UV resistance prevents cable degradation in outdoor or harsh lighting environments. Both features extend operational lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
Q: How is the correct cable length or configuration determined for a project?
A: Length and configuration depend on your installation layout and protocol requirements. The cables are available from 1 m to 100 m and can be customized in reel or coil formats, with options for 4 or 5 core setups to suit a variety of industrial applications.
