Reliable network connections in harsh surroundings with Ethernet media

As Ethernet becomes increasingly utilised in industrial control, survival of physical media in rugged or harsh environments is becoming a necessity. Rockwell Automation Ethernet cables are designed to supply a reliable network connection in harsh surroundings.

Key Features:

• Designed to ODVA Ethernet/IP standards for enhanced performance in industrial applications
• Components are constructed for excellent reliability, flexibility and noise reduction
• More robust than standard off-the-shelf Ethernet cabling
• Specially designed cable with rugged connector construction to preserve network integrity and performance
• Easily connected with Allen-Bradley Ethernet switches, programmable controllers, PanelView graphic terminals and drives

Ethernet/IP is the most mature and reliable Ethernet network available for industrial automation applications. The high speed of network protocol allows it to be use in applications where other networks fall short.

The popularity of 100Mb Ethernet is increasing and component costs are decreasing, resulting in the use of Ethernet for control applications becoming increasingly attractive. Recent studies explain the important factors that should be taken into account when selecting an Ethernet solution.

These include the technical aspects that make one cable better than another considering noise, vibration, electrical, mechanical, and overall cable performance.
