Connect devices such as sensors, programmable logic controllers, and actuators to an automated network. Choose the communication standard that matches your existing network.

Flexible cable bends easily, but is not meant to be in constant motion. Use continuous-flex cable in automated applications that require continuous motion, such as robotics.

Choose cable with PVC plastic outer insulation for general purpose indoor applications. Its protective layer resists abrasion, though it contains halogen. It’s also less flexible than cable with TPE rubber insulation. Cable with TPE rubber outer insulation has a halogen-free protective layer that is more flexible and resists abrasion better than other materials. It also stands up to extreme temperatures and chemicals, making it good for use in harsh outdoor environments.

Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding for better protection against signal interference than foil alone. Use it in environments with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors.

Flame rated cable meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. FT4 cable is mounted to a vertical tray during testing. VW-1 cable is suspended vertically during testing.
