Tired of signal errors and safety risks in your factory?
You know the problem. You install a cable system for your machines. Everything works fine at first. Then, the random errors start. Sensors drop off the network. The CAN bus data gets corrupted. You check the connections, but they are tight. The real problem is often the cable itself. Cheap cables pick up noise from motors. They break when you move the machine arm. Worst of all, if a fire starts, standard plastic cables release toxic black smoke. This stops production and puts your workers in danger. You need a cable that works hard, stays safe, and lasts a long time. You need a cable built to German industrial standards.
A cable built for tough industrial life
This is not just a piece of wire. This is a German-engineered fieldbus communication cable. It is designed specifically for 120.64mm (22 AWG) CAN bus systems. We built it to handle the rough conditions inside your factory. It resists oil, heat, and fire. It keeps your data signal clean even next to heavy machinery. The outer sheath is halogen-free. This means if there is a fire, it does not release toxic gas. It burns clean. This is critical for hospitals, schools, and modern factories where safety is the top priority. The cable passes strict tests like IEC 60332-1-2 for flames and IEC 60754-2 for halogen content. You get high performance without the safety risk.
Technical Specifications That Matter
We make the specs simple. You do not need a degree in engineering to understand them. Here is exactly what you get inside the black outer jacket:Conductor CoreThe core is made of bare copper. We use stranded wires, not solid ones. This makes the cable very flexible. You can move it, twist it, and bend it without breaking the copper inside. The size is 0.64mm. This is the standard 22 AWG size. It fits all standard D-Sub 9 connectors and M12 connectors perfectly.Insulation and TwistingEach wire has its own insulation. We use a foamed Polyethylene (PE) or PVC mix. This keeps the electricity inside the wire. The two wires are twisted together. This twisting is the secret weapon. It cancels out electrical noise from the outside. Your data stays accurate.ShieldingNoise is the enemy of data. We wrap the twisted pair in a shield. First, we use an aluminum foil. Then, we add a tinned copper braid. The braid covers at least 85% of the cable. This double shield stops Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Your CAN bus signal stays strong and clear.Outer Sheath (Jacket)The outside layer is tough. We use PUR (Polyurethane) or FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive) material. It is resistant to oils, acids, and water. You can drag this cable in cable chains (festoon or torsion applications). It will not crack or split. The temperature range is wide. It works from -40°C up to +80°C. For short times, it can handle up to 105°C.Electrical Data
- Impedance: 120 Ohm ± 15% (at 1 MHz). This is the magic number for CAN bus.
- Conductor Resistance: Max 87 Ohm/km (or 39 Ohm/km for shorter runs).
- Capacitance: Around 41 nF/km. Low capacitance means fast data speed.
- Test Voltage: 1.2 kV AC. It can handle high voltage spikes.
Where to use this cable?
This cable is a workhorse. You can use it almost anywhere you need reliable data. Here are the most common places we see it:Factory AutomationConnect your PLCs, sensors, and drives. Use it for PROFIBUS DP, CANopen, and DeviceNet networks. It is perfect for moving machine parts like robotic arms. The high flexibility (5 million torsion cycles) means it lasts longer than standard cable.Building AutomationUse it for KNX systems. Control lighting, blinds, and HVAC. Because it is halogen-free and Low Smoke (LSZH), it is safe to run inside walls and ceilings in public buildings. It meets the strict rules for hospitals and airports.Outdoor and Harsh EnvironmentsThe black PUR sheath is UV resistant. You can bury it in the ground or hang it outside. It resists moisture and hydraulic oil. It is great for marine applications, wind power plants, and outdoor processing units.Process Fieldbus (PA)While this is mostly for high-speed CAN, the robust construction also works for some process automation tasks if you need a strong physical cable.
Why choose this German-Imported Type?
You might find cheaper cables online. But cheap cables cut corners. They use thin copper. They skip the braid shield. They use cheap PVC that melts in heat. Our cable follows the EN 50170 standard. This is the European standard for industrial communication cables. It guarantees quality.The “German-imported” tag means precision. The twisting of the pairs is exact. The shielding coverage is measured, not guessed. The material purity is high. This results in less downtime for you. You install it once, and it works for years. It saves you money on repairs and maintenance.
Standards and Approvals
We know you need paperwork for your projects. This cable comes with the marks you need:
- CE Mark: Yes, fully compliant.
- RoHS: Yes, environmentally safe.
- UL/cUL: Listed for 300V or 600V depending on the specific batch.
- CSA: Certified for Canadian standards.
- VDE: Certified for German electrical standards.
- Flame Tests: Passes IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 61034-2 (Low Smoke).
Easy Installation and Handling
You do not need special tools to install this. It strips easily with standard wire strippers. The outer jacket is tough but cuts cleanly. Because it is round and balanced, it pulls easily through conduits or cable chains.The minimum bending radius is 10 times the outer diameter. For a 7mm cable, that is 70mm. Do not bend it sharper than that, or you might damage the shield. But for normal use, it is very bendable.
