Drag-chain Ethernet and EtherCAT

Industrial Ethernet for the parts of a cell that travel: a seventh axis on a track, a gantry, a linear module. Drag-chain rated constructions with a screen that keeps its performance after millions of bends, terminated with field-attachable or overmolded industrial connectors.

Typical construction

How it is usually built

  • Cat5e for 100 Mbit EtherCAT and Profinet, Cat6A for gigabit and camera links
  • Fine-strand conductors and a PUR jacket rated for continuous flexing at the bend radius you specify
  • RJ45 with a metal shell, M12 D-coded or X-coded, or a mix of the two
  • Flex life, bend radius and travel speed confirmed against the cable maker's rating for the chosen construction

Ratings are the cable maker's for the construction chosen; the construction, the test scope and the documentation are confirmed in your quotation.
