Industrial Super Class 6 Gigabit Network Cable for PROFINET EtherCAT and Servo Drives

This industrial network cable is designed for high-speed data communication in automation environments, supporting PROFINET, EtherCAT, and servo drive protocols. The super class 6 (Cat6a) gigabit rating ensures reliable transmission up to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for demanding factory floor networks. With a twisted pair construction and PVC jacket, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for tight routing in control cabinets and cable trays. Available in multiple lengths and three colour options, it simplifies installation and identification in complex systems.

Features and Construction

This cable combines robust electrical performance with practical installation features. The 26AWG wire gauge and 6.9mm outer diameter provide a balance of signal integrity and flexibility.

Twisted Pair Design

The twisted pair construction helps cancel electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment, motors, and power cables, which is critical for reliable PROFINET and EtherCAT communication in industrial settings.

PVC Outer Jacket

The PVC jacket offers basic protection against abrasion and moderate temperatures while maintaining the flexibility needed for routing in tight spaces or cable chains.

Colour Options for Identification

Three colours are available: light green, sky blue, and black. This allows colour-coding of different network segments or protocols, reducing wiring errors during installation or maintenance.

Size and Length Range

The cable is offered in a wide selection of lengths to suit various installation scenarios, from short patch cables inside cabinets to longer runs between machines.

Short Lengths for Cabinet Wiring

Lengths from 0.1m to 0.5m are ideal for connecting devices within a control cabinet, minimising cable slack and improving airflow.

Medium Lengths for Panel Connections

Lengths from 1.0m to 2.5m work well for connecting panels, drives, or I/O modules located close together on a machine frame.

Longer Lengths for Machine-to-Machine Links

Lengths from 3m to 4m support connections between separate machine sections or to nearby switches and controllers.

Benefits and Buying Value

This cable provides practical value for automation professionals who need reliable, flexible networking at an accessible price point.

Reliable Communication

The super class 6 rating and twisted pair construction help maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments, reducing the risk of data errors or dropped connections.

Easy Installation

The flexible PVC jacket and multiple length options simplify cable routing and management, saving time during installation and future rework.

Cost-Effective Networking

With a straightforward design and no unnecessary extras, this cable offers a practical solution for industrial Ethernet networking without premium pricing.
