Category 6 industrial ethernet cable

Wednesday, 11 March, 2009 | Supplied by: Belden Australia Pty Ltd


Belden has introduced a category 6 DataTuff twisted pair industrial ethernet cable. Product number 7940A is EtherNet/IP-compliant and is of round construction, which make it suitable for sealed industrial ethernet connectivity applications.

Belden developed the Cat 6 industrial ethernet cable in response to the trend towards ‘future proofing’, in which building or upgrading to meet the category 6 performance standard (TIA/EIA 568-B2-1) provides assurance that the network will be well equipped, not only to support today’s increasingly sophisticated data communications, but also new and emerging technologies.

Belden’s robustly constructed 7940A Cat 6 unshielded twisted pair (4-pair UTP) 23 AWG cable features a solid bare copper conductor and a heavy-duty oil- and sunlight-resistant jacket. In addition, the cable features Belden’s Bonded-Pair technology, a design that bonds the individual insulated conductors of each pair along the full length of the cable. The Bonded-Pair cables maintain a consistent distance between conductors, with no twisting or performance-robbing gaps, resulting in superior electrical performance both before and after installation.

Belden’s industrial ethernet cable line also includes DataTuff copper-based category 5e and category 6 cables and TrayOptic indoor/outdoor fibre-optic cables. The ruggedly constructed family contains cables that are oil-, chemical- and moisture-resistant, built to withstand extreme temperature variations and resistant to electrical noise.

Belden has also announced its industrial ethernet user guide, a 16-page brochure offering specific information about the dramatic performance differences between commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) ethernet components typically used in office environments, and Belden’s industrial-grade components.
