Cat 6 industrial ethernet cable

Belden has introduced a Category 6 DataTuff twisted pair cable to its family of industrial ethernet cables. The 7940A cable is EtherNet/IP compliant and is of round construction, which makes it suitable for sealed industrial ethernet connectivity applications.

Building or upgrading cabling infrastructure 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) cable features a solid bare copper conductor and a heavy-duty, oil- and sunlight-resistant jacket.

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.

The DataTuff ruggedly constructed family contains cables that are oil, chemical and moisture resistant, built to withstand extreme temperature variations, and are resistant to electrical noise (EMI/RFI).
