Lapp Group launched its new
ultra-flexible, torsion resistant
Ethernet cables that
enable the transfer of data at speeds
of up to 10Gbit/s. The new
ETHERLINE® Cat.6A is ideal for
use in applications such as wind
turbine facilities, robotics and
moving mechanical parts. As
production processes become faster,
the new cabling is the optimal
solution for customers looking to
transfer large quantities of data as
quickly as possible, a statement by
Lapp noted.
In the past, however, the market
has only offered stiff or flexible
cables with the characteristics and
electric performance of Cat.6A,
according to ISO/IEC 11801, EN
50288-2-2, IEC 61156-1, IEC 61156-
6 and DIN EN 50173-1 standards
(i.e. with a data transfer rate of up
to 10Gbit/s). At the same time,
ultra-flexible cables were only able
to offer transfer rates of up to
1Gbit/s. The new ETHERLINE®
Cat.6A, on the other hand, is
incredibly flexible and delivers data
transfer speeds of up to 10Gbit/s.
The Lapp Group has developed
this new cable in response to
customer demand for a solution
that can be used in fields such as
robotic monitoring and the
inspection of manufactured
products via camera systems. Two
versions of the ETHERLINE®
Cat.6A are available. The first data
cable is suitable for use in power
chains with at least one million
bending cycles, and the other is
specially configured for high torsion
applications.
