Complete range of Ethernet cables from Murrelektronik

>Firmly established at the control or factory level of industrial automation hierarchies, industrial Ethernet is just now coming into its own as a viable contender at the I/O or field level. Early value propositions focused on Ethernet's commonness and vertical integration capabilities for customers looking to adopt a single common network, but the rise in dedicated motion control networks and budding interest in the process sector are indicative of a broader variety of potential benefits.

>Murrelektronik has a wide product range and can offer connection accessories for all these areas. Field-wireable M12 and RJ45 connectors are the right choice for IP20 applications. There is a large variety of pre-wired and moulded models. The 15 degree locking mechanism of the M8 and M12 connectors and top quality PUR moldings ensure safe connections with IP65/68 protection, even in aggressive industrial environments.

>Murrelektronik has the right cable for every application - from PVC jackets for fixed cable installations to highly flexible PUR cables with a wire cross section of 0.34mm_ for torsion and bending, for example in C-track applications. All models have cables with a visual shielding of over 85%. Murrelektronik's 360° shielding concept for connectors provides resistance to external interferences. Error-free data transfer is an important product feature.

>The connectors are available in straight or angled versions, with open-ended wires or as connection cables, combined with M8, M12 or with moulded RJ45 connectors. M12 or M8 connectors are avaialble in male or female versions, straight or 90° angled. Features include a zinc die-cast nickel plated or stainless steel screw. Spring loaded elements ensure good shield contact and provide anti-twist protection. The shield elements are constructed from tin-plated stainless steel. Accessories include straight and angled shields, cable entry systems and flange connectors.

>RJ45s are suitable for multiport connections and available with all five cable angles (straight, top, bottom, left and right). All pre-wired Murrelektronik connectors are 100% tested. Eliminate wiring errors during installation that can happen easily with field-wireable connectors. Models are available that are straight, or angled up, down, left or right at 45°, providing a useful space saving option, enabling plugs to be connected on top of one another. Connectors in the Murrelektronik range are available with push-pull AIDA wiring. Accessories include straight and angled RJ45 connectors, RJ45 protection lists, and push-pull power connectors.

>Murrelektronik also offers an Industrial Ethernet as a standard for specific user protocols. All types of shielded M8 connectors are available for EtherCAT as well as for SERCOS III, a special Cat.5e cable for C-track applications. The push-pull power and push-pull data connectors (copper and optical fibre) for PROFINET are available as field-wireable and pre-wired models. Connectors are also available for EtherNet/IP and Ethernet POWERLINK.

>Suitable interfaces like flange connectors with or without bus cable, cable entry systems are also available, as well as cables by the metre from 100m to 500m - all, of course, UL approved. The product range is available for transfer characteristics according to CAT5 ISO/IEC 11801 Class D or CAT6 ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA.
