With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, automation production, and industrial Ethernet, industrial field has higher performance requirements for wire connections compared to traditional office networks. Especially in dynamic application scenarios such as PLC, servo systems, robots, and cable chains, industrial Ethernet cables not only need to have reliable data transmission capabilities but also need to have high flexibility and high shielding performance to ensure stable signals, excellent anti-interference, and long service life. Among many connection and cable brands, Finecables, as a professional industrial connector and cable solution supplier, offers a range of products including industrial Ethernet cables, special cables, and customized connection solutions, which are widely adopted in the global market.
One, Finecables industrial network cable advantages focus: high flexibility + high shielding
The industrial field environment is complex, with challenges such as mechanical vibration, electromagnetic interference, and chain movement. To meet these requirements, industrial Ethernet cables must balance the following two core characteristics:
High flexibility design:
Supporting applications that frequently bend and move in automated equipment or conveyors.
The conductor adopts a multi-strand fine wire structure to improve the bending cycle times and fatigue resistance.
Flexible sheath materials enhance the cable's fracture and fatigue resistance, providing long-term reliable operation support for industrial chain systems.
High shielding performance:
Address strong electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) in industrial fields, especially near inverters, large motors, PLCs, and the like.
The multi-shielding structure (such as aluminum foil + woven shielding) can effectively reduce interference signals and improve the error rate performance of data transmission.
In the field wiring system, a well-shielded industrial network cable can significantly improve the stability of system communication.
The structural design of Finecables ensures long-term stable operation of industrial network cables in a physical motion environment, while also guaranteeing the anti-interference capability of high-speed network communication.
Two, selection and compatibility, reference and suggestions for domestic substitution solutions
Selection points:
Network Standard: Choose Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A or higher grade specifications according to application requirements to meet bandwidth and transmission distance requirements.
Flexible grade: Select flexible harness cables for drag chains or mobile applications (multi-strand ultra-fine conductors + high-wear-resistant sheath).
• Screen type: High EMI environment strongly recommends using FTP/SFTP/dual shielding structure to ensure signal integrity.
• Environmental grade: Consider industrial scene requirements such as working temperature, oil resistance, waterproofing, and fire resistance levels.
Compatibility and Domestic Substitution Solutions:
Finecables cables can be seamlessly connected with standard RJ45 interface devices, Profinet/industrial switches, PLCs, and other industrial network equipment as long as the specifications meet the industrial Ethernet standards.
• Domestic Alternative Reference: Some domestic manufacturers have provided high-flexibility, double-shielded industrial network cables that meet UL/ISO certifications and can be used as a cost-effective alternative to Finecables.
It is recommended to consider the matching of cables and connectors in domestic substitution solutions, such as choosing domestic high protection level RJ45 or M12 industrial connectors to enhance system stability.
In practice, it is recommended to communicate with manufacturers about material durability, flexibility test data, and on-site cases to ensure that the alternative solution meets practical applications.
