Round cable design suitable for drag chain applications from Helukabel
Helukabel announced they have enhanced their AS-Interface (ASi) bus cable offering by adding a round cable design suitable for use in drag chain applications. Traditionally, ASi bus cables are flat and deliver both power and transmit signals in applications such as building automation, process automation, factory automation, and transportation. However, when drag chain-rated ASi bus […]
Should servomotor cables be shielded, and if so, why?
Contributed by Frances Richards As with many things in life and engineering, it depends whether you should use shielded servomotor cables. However, in most industrial environments, the answer is a definite yes. Later in this entry, the few instances where unshielded servomotor cables may be appropriate will be discussed. For now, let’s consider some of […]
AchieVe fiber optic Ethernet patch cables provide low-cost fiber connections
AutomationDirect has added even more network cabling options to their lineup of Communication products. The new AchieVe brand fiber optic Ethernet patch cables provide reliable low-cost multi-mode fiber connections. These cables contain optical fibers that transmit data signals as light, offering much higher transmission speeds than copper cables, and are naturally immune to electromagnetic interference. […]
What’s the difference between copper and aluminum industrial cable?
Contributed by Frances Richards It’s no secret that copper and aluminum are both effective conductors of electricity. Further, most engineers and system designers know that copper is a better conductor and easier to work with, while aluminum is lighter weight and less expensive. Beyond these widely known characteristics, let’s take a closer look at the […]
Reducing CO2 emissions in cable manufacturing is possible with the Pastel B process
Contributed by Horst Messerer, product & sales manager – data, network and bus technology Clear wire identification with different colors is essential for the fast and safe connection of cables and wires. However, conventional marking methods also have disadvantages, such as environmental compatibility, for example. “Pastel B” is an alternative method for marking wire pairs […]
