Ethernet Cables suit patch and network installations

Available in PVC and PUR in lengths to 100 m, electrical patch cables are offered in straight-through and cross-over designs for connecting active elements in control panels. Electrical network installation cables, available in same length range, are designed for use outside control panels. Fiber optic patch and network installation cables feature PVC jackets and are available as multimode cables in 50 and 62.5 [micro]m core diameters. Optic patch cables come in lengths from 1-3 m.


RICHMOND, VA (November 28, 2005) - Over 80% of the problems associated with the deployment of industrial Ethernet networks are in the physical layer. Specifically they are mechanical connectivity issues. The majority of these issues are within the cabling systems, which generally represent from 50-70% of the total network costs. In many cases, the type of cables required must be application-specific to meet the demands of the industrial Ethernet network environment.

Responding to this issue, Weidmuller has developed a full range of electrical and fiber optic Industrial Ethernet Cables for both patch and network installation- as critical components in their full range of Reliable Ethernet Solutions. In addition to providing a complete offering of standardized industrial Ethernet cables, Weidmuller can provide custom cables for customers with specific application requirements. Their expertise allows Weidmuller to guide customers in selecting the right Ethernet cables for their network.
