Gigabit cable is tough enough for energy
chains
Ethernet cable provides higher datarates in severe industrial environments and results in a high service life even at very high cycle rates.
With GigE (Gigabit Ethernet) emerging as a serious alternative to FireWire, USB and CameraLink in the world of machine vision, Igus has developed the world's first GigE cable for continuous dynamic use in energy chains to meet this need The new special Chainflex CFBUS.044 Ethernet cable provides higher datarates in severe industrial environments and results in a high service life even at very high cycle rates

Developed, for example, for quality and process monitoring applications, the oil-resistant GigE cable has already been successfully fatigue tested over 100m of travel (50m cable length).
This means that the energy and data supply experts at Igus are now offering FireWire, USB and GigE cables specifically for highly dynamic use in chains.
The cable's bus pairs, which are manufactured with harmonised special insulation, are stranded together with an optimised short pitch.
This extremely flexible tinned copper shield, results in high damping stability even at high cycle rates.
The high-pressure extruded, abrasion-resistant and flame-retardant TPE outer jacket also offers the necessary cable protection to prevent core breakage.
The new cable is UL- and CSA-certified and conforms to Desina standards. Request a free brochure from Igus UK ...
