Belden Electronics Division has unveiled its new line of DataTuff twisted pair copper and TrayOptic optical fiber Industrial Ethernet cables.
Data transmission errors in industrial networks can lead to interruptions in critical control functions, potentially meaning a loss in production time or safety issues.
Belden's Industrial Ethernet cables are designed to help ensure optimum network performance and withstand the rigors of industrial environmental factors such as exposure to oil and sunlight, temperature variations, abrasion, crushing or the presence of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI).
Many of the DataTuff copper cables feature Belden's patented Bonded-Pair Technology. This technology relates to the bonding of the conductors of the cable pairs along the entire length of the cable to ensure that no performance-robbing gaps can develop between the conductor pairs. Since no gaps can occur and the conductor-to-conductor spacing is always uniform, the cable offers reliable electrical performance - before and after installation.
Belden calls this after-installation performance capability Installable Performance. For the most extreme factory floor environments, Belden offers Bonded-Pair Armored Ethernet cables.
Belden's TrayOptic indoor/outdoor optical fiber cables now include a water- blocking agent and have received IEEE and UL flame approvals. All TrayOptic cables utilize Laser Certified Fiber to handle Gigabit Ethernet light sources and any expanded bandwidth requirements.
