Drag-chain Ethernet and EtherCAT
Industrial Cat5e and Cat6A cables for continuous flexing in linear axes, gantries and track-mounted robots.
Cat6A · 10M cycles · RJ45 / M12-XSpecs and optionsCables for SCARA and Delta robots
Pick-and-place robots run at cycle rates that wear a cable out in months if the construction is wrong. Drag-chain rated power, feedback and Ethernet cables, built for the bend radius and acceleration of the arm, with the flex life stated as the cable maker's rating for the chosen construction.

Requirement and answer
Millions of bend cycles at high acceleration
Drag-chain rated constructions with fine-strand conductors and a PUR jacket; flex life as the cable maker rates it, validated by cycle testing where the project needs it.
Vision and conveyor tracking on the moving arm
Cat6A drag-chain Ethernet with screened pairs, M12 X-coded or metal-shell RJ45, and camera power in the same chain.
Short, repeatable cable runs across a fleet of cells
Labelled, length-controlled assemblies built to the approved revision, repeat orders straight to production.
Typical cables
What usually gets built for it
Servo motor power cables
Shielded 4G and 4G+2 constructions for Yaskawa, Fanuc, KUKA, ABB and Siemens drives, connectors fitted and ready to plug.
