Northwire's expanded DataCell Foundation fieldbus cable range helps customers to quickly get the right cable for their industrial-networking needs.
Northwire has expanded its line of DataCell Foundation fieldbus cable.
This product line expansion - from 16 to more than 100 part numbers - is in response to industry demand for more configuration options to meet the needs of a wider range of applications.
"This growth makes Northwire's line the most varied and comprehensive in the marketplace and ensures that customers can quickly get the right cable for their industrial-networking needs", says Ted Beach, Director of Sales, Northwire.
DataCell Foundation fieldbus cable is the only cable rated for ITC (instrument tray cable)/PLTC (power-limited tray cable) for exposed-run (ER) applications.
CSA, HL ABCD armoured versions are also offered.
Exclusively available through Northwire, the line includes an arctic-rated ITC/PLTC-listed version with optional armour and a RoHS-compliant UL 1309 marine shipboard-listed cable with a cut and abrasion-resistant TPE outer jacket.
Both are suitable for use to -60C.
ITC/PLTC cable allows users to eliminate the conduit when the cable is installed in accordance with recent National Electrical Code (NEC) amendments.
The cable is fully compliant with new Foundation fieldbus 844 cable test specifications.
DataCell Foundation fieldbus is available as single-pair or multi-paired bus cables, with as many as 12 pairs in a single-sided cable.
Shield options include individually foil-shielded pairs with drain wire as well as an overall foil with drain wire.
Cable with overall tinned copper braid is available for low-frequency noise immunity.
Cable is offered in a variety of jacket and inner-conductor colour and options.
Choices include 16 AWG - for longer runs - and 18 AWG in single-shielded, twisted-pair spur cables and as multi-pair cable.
