Expanded Single-Pair Ethernet Products
New products from Lapp reflect an expansion of solutions for industrial communications.
With the ETHERLINE T1 product family, LAPP was ahead of the game in presenting prototype single-pair Ethernet cables for use in industrial machinery and systems.
As part of its spring launch, LAPP is introducing the new ETHERLINE T1 Y Flex 1x2x22/7 AWG. This is an UL-certified 2-core data cable for high-speed information exchange that maintains the same high data rates while significantly reducing the setup required. Thanks to its small bending radii and small outer diameter, it is exceptionally lightweight, space-saving and easy to install and is indispensable for connection at the field level.
The new Power-Over-Data-Line compatible cable complies with IEEE 802.3bu and was specially designed for transmitting digital signals in the frequency range up to 600 MHz over distances of up to 40 m. It enables a simultaneous power and data supply to SPE terminals with low energy consumption (up to 50 W).
The design of the SPE cable guarantees ideal protection against electromagnetic interference: Thanks to an aluminum-laminated foil and copper braid shield with a high degree of coverage (SF/UTP), it is double shielded. In addition, the PVC outer sheath is resistant to acids and alkalis and is partially oil-resistant. UL/CSA certification enables the product to be used in North America.
Another new feature is the ETHERLINE CABINET CAT.6A.for the control cabinet in PROFINET networks. Thanks to their small bending radii, Cat.6A patch cables can prove especially useful in confined spaces.
