CC-Link-compatible cable for energy chains from igus
Energy and data supply expert igus has now added a bus cable for the CC-Link industrial serial field bus system into its range. The data transmission properties of the Chainflex CFBUS.035 cable correspond to the CC-Link specification and have been tested and approved by the global coordinating office, CC-Links Partners Association (CLPA) in Japan. This now means igus can supply dynamically flexible bus cables for all standard field bus system, including Profibus, Interbus, CAN-bus, Device Net, Profinet and Ethernet, ex stock.
>The 3-wire shielded bus cable has been developed to meet the highly dynamic conditions found in energy chain applications, by careful design of cable structure and materials used. The combination of the abrasion-proof thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) outer jacket, a gusset-filled extruded inner jacket and an optimised short pitch length, ensure millions and millions of bending cycles are possible in energy chain systems, from 85mm bend radius (10xd). With an outer diameter of 8.5mm and conforming to DESINA* cable colour coding, the cable is available either as basic cable or pre-fitted with any standard industrial connector required.
