Industrial Ethernet: Robust solution for Industrial Communication Networks

Industrial Ethernet is a solution that brings the proven Ethernet platform into harsh industrial environments. This network infrastructure is designed to withstand wide temperature ranges, continuous vibration, and long-term operation while maintaining a high level of reliability and stability.

The core advantage of Ethernet in industrial applications lies in its real-time transmission of control data, ensuring signals are sent and received precisely when required by the system. Compared to proprietary fieldbus technologies, Industrial Ethernet stands out thanks to its unified standards, high reliability, cost-effective hardware, and flexible scalability, fully aligned with modern networking trends.

Data cable in general and Ethernet cable in particular are the leading types of cables used in Bus technology to connect devices and ensure data transmission. The product plays an important role in maintaining a more stable, safe, and secure transmission line than traditional networking systems. Ethernet cable is a commonly used cable for connecting computers, routers or switches.

Ethernet cable was created to solve the problem of unstable transmission lines in manufacturing plants that require high levels of signal accuracy. The basic structure of this cable consists of two main types: solid core and stranded core. Solid core provides better performance, limits signal interference, and reduces transmission disruptions.

FAQs about ethernet and bus cables

This is a specialized network cable for fixed installation in buildings, with a sheath made of a material that is able to resist fire according to international IEC standards. The production process of the cable does not contain any harmful substances, especially in case of fire, the cable will not generate harmful Halogen gas to health. The product has effective resistance to wear and oil.

This is a data cable with FRNC or PUR sheath. The industrial CAT.5 + 5e Ethernet cable is notable for its fire resistance, oil resistance, abrasion resistance, and being totally Halogen-free, which is not harmful to human health in case of fire. The product is widely used in industrial environments due to its flexible installation and ability to withstand harsh conditions.

This is a combination of top cable lines in the CAT.5 + 5e group when it comes to flexibility and suitability for all terrains and construction structures. Industrial Ethernet cable CAT.5 + 5e is protected by a PU casing layer, which is resistant to oil and not corroded by lubricating oils used in cooling machines. The Ethernet cable operates stably for continuous signal transmission.

The Ethernet cable used for fixed installation is a type of cable with a PVC plastic outer layer, allowing for installation in harsh conditions. The cable construction allows for stable and fast signal transmission. Therefore, the product is widely used in large industrial areas or manufacturing plants.

The Industrial CAT.6 + 6A Ethernet cable is designed with a PVC or PUR cable jacket to minimize the impact of external environment on the signal transmission process of the cable. This helps the cable to have excellent information transmission characteristics even in difficult and harsh conditions.

These are cable lines used in industrial environments with characteristics of low smoke and no halogen. This Ethernet cable has high reserve capacity and superior performance. This allows you to apply the product in communication technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, ATM155, FDDI, Token Ring 4/16 Mbit/s or ISDN without difficulty.
These types of cables comply with the Type B anti-interference standard according to EN55022, as well as anti-interference capabilities according to EN55024.

This Ethernet cable is ideal for harsh industrial environments due to its outer PU jacket that is halogen-free. This cable can be configured with a standard RJ45 plug (industrial and office versions), as well as with some Sub-D and M12 plugs.

The industrial Ethernet cable series CAT.6 + 6A provides excellent transmission characteristics in challenging environmental conditions. The product is optimized for typical twisted applications in robot manufacturing.
