TWISTABLE fibre optic cables suitable for industrial bus systems including: profibus, CAN-bus; and industrial ethernet can now be purchased from Treotham Automation.
The cables are protected by damping elements and a matching PTFE gliding layer. Torsion-resistant materials are also used for the cable insulation.
According to the company, the cable incorporates a braided shield which has an optical coverage of 85% and a pressure-extruded outer jacket that is abrasion-proof and oil and flame-resistant.
The twistable PUR motor cables can also be supplied in either shielded or non-shielded versions.
Shielded cables also feature high-grade PTFE gliding layers to provide a sturdy basis for the torsion-resistant insulation. This reportedly allows for the most demanding of twisting applications.
