Belden CDT Electronics Division has expanded its line of DataTuff Category 5e and Category 6 industrial Ethernet cables.

Belden CDT Electronics Division has expanded its line of DataTuff Category 5e and Category 6 industrial Ethernet cables.

Two new Category 5e cables have been added to Belden's comprehensive selection of industrial Ethernet cables, which includes DataTuff Cat 5e and Cat 6 twisted pair copper cables and TrayOptic fibre-optic cables.

Both of the new DataTuff copper cables feature Belden's patented Bonded-Pair technology which assures superior electrical performance before and after installation.

Belden calls this after-installation performance capability 'Installable Performance'.

Belden's new Bonded-Pair DataTuff cables include Belden 7932A.

This 2-pair, 24 AWG, unshielded, Category 5e Bonded-Pair cable is CMR FT4 rated, features solid bare copper conductors, polyolefin insulation, industrial grade sunlight- and oil-resistant PVC jacket (black or teal), and is EtherNet/IP compliant.

Belden 7934A is a 4-pair, 24 AWG, unshielded, enhanced Category 5e Bonded-Pair cable which features solid bare copper conductors, polyolefin insulation, sunlight- and oil-resistant black polyethylene jacket, and is EtherNet/IP compliant.

The cable is water-blocked allowing it to be for buried.

All of Belden's Industrial Ethernet cables are ruggedly constructed to withstand harsh industrial and environmental conditions - including sunlight, temperature variations, oil and gasoline, crushing and abrasion.

As a result, the cables ensure optimum network performance and uptime and avoid transmission errors that can lead to unsafe conditions or interruption of critical industrial control functions.
