Industrial Ethernet cable

Through the use of Category 5E style cables Industrial Ethernet provides a stable platform for linking automation systems and workstations. They are also suitable for interlinking different Bus protocols such as Profibus and Interbus.

The use of finely stranded conductors and PUR sheathing compounds makes them ideal for frequent flexing and dynamic applications.
