Dual Function: Data + Power in One Cable
This cable integrates:
-
Shielded twisted pair network cores (4/6/8/10/16 cores) for reliable data and communication signals, minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
Power cores (2/3/4/5/6 cores) for direct supply to motors, sensors or control devices.
Combining these in a single jacket simplifies installation and removes the need for separate power and network pathways.
High Flexibility for Drag Chain Use
The cable’s construction supports repeated bending and movement within drag chain systems. Shielded pairs maintain signal integrity even with continuous flexing, while the power cores support stable current delivery. Drag chain applications (e.g., CNC machines or robotic arms) benefit from this integrated design with reduced cable wear and improved machine uptime.
Enhanced Shielding & Signal Integrity
Individual twisted pairs with shielding help protect against noise and crosstalk — an important factor in industrial environments where motors and switching gear generate interference.
