Lapp Group ETHERLINE torsion-resistant Ethernet cable

Lapp Group has added two high-speed industrial Ethernet cables to its ETHERLINE range, including a torsion-resistant and Profinet-compatible Cat.7 cable.

Both cables achieve transfer speeds of 10 Gbps in a frequency range of up to 600 MHz. This makes machinery and robotics applications suitable where large volumes of data from sensors or high-resolution cameras are common. Both cables have a robust and halogen-free PUR sheath; however, they differ with respect to their internal structures and other properties.

The ETHERLINE TORSION Cat.7 can be twisted by 180° in both directions along a length of 1 m, at least 5 million times. The easy-to-assemble cable does not have any filler, with the cores only held in place with a polyethylene cross separator.

ETHERLINE Flex Cat.7 is suitable for well-stocked control cabinets where space is tight. Due to narrow core cross-sections, the flexible cable has an outer diameter of 6.4 mm and a bending radius of four times the outer diameter. It can be laid next to cables with voltages up to 1000 V or without mechanical protection such as separators.
