CDM’s new SAFER Cable assemblies engineered for low-smoke zero-Halogen performance
CDM Electronics, a authorized distributor of electronic connectors and cables, today announced the availability of semi-custom SAFER (Smoke and Fire Exposure Reducing) Cable Assembly Series for RF, Ethernet (RJ45), and power applications. The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) SAFER cable assemblies are intended for spaces where large amounts of cables are in close proximity to people […]
AFC Cable Systems announces MC Luminary HCF cables for healthcare applications
AFC Cable Systems, New Bedford, Mass., announces MC Luminary HCF (UL type MC-PCS) cables for healthcare facilities. MC Luminary HCF is a new addition to AFC’s line of MC Luminary metal-clad cables, which combine electric lighting and control circuits under a single interlocked armor. With a dual grounding path that enhances safety, MC Luminary HCF […]
TPC Wire & Cable introduces Trex-Onics high-flex encoder cable
TPC Wire & Cable Corp. (TPC) has released the next generation of servomotor encoder cable has arrived in the form of a single-cable solution. Whereas traditional methods require three separate encoder cables, one dedicated to managing power with a second and third reserved for signal and data, TPC’s Trex-Onics high-flex encoder cable converges these roles into […]
New kink-resistant flat power cables from Cicoil
For power cord applications that require resistance to kinking, fatigue and fraying, Cicoil offers mechanically tough, yet extremely flexible cables. These easy to handle flat cables don’t require bulky insulating materials and fillers, which results in a more lightweight, flexible and tangle free cable design. Unlike circular power cords that tend to kink when used […]
What types of cables are used in industrial settings?
A variety of cables is used in industrial settings for networking, power transmission, and communication. Coaxial, data, and instrumentation cables are some of the most common designs you will find. These low-voltage cables are usually rated for 2,000 V or less to distribute power, but medium-voltage designs reaching up to 35,000 V can be used […]
What are triaxial cables?
Triaxial, or triax cable for short, is used in similar applications to coaxial cables. Because they are designed with three conductors versus two in coax and feature an extra layer of shielding and insulation, they are generally more costly. This extra shielding provides ground and is more resistant to EMI than coax designs because it […]
Custom cable design from Lutze hits the slopes
When tasked with designing the cabling for a new tricable gondola lift at the Pardatschgratbahn in the ski resort of Ischgl, Austria, LÜTZE Inc. had to think outside—and inside—the box to come up with a design that would meet all the tough requirements of the application. The seats on the new gondola cars are heated […]
Single-cable solutions – new possibilities opened up by high-quality components and an open protocol
Single-cable solutions are increasingly gaining traction in the field of servodrive technology. In addition to the growing number of drive manufacturers offering single-cable solutions, this trend is fueled by the increasing number of manufacturers of rotary encoders that allow the implementation of such solutions in the first place. They differ not only in the protocol used, but also […]
