Cable Innovation makes Industrial Networking Easier, Faster and More Reliable
|
From Northwire, Inc.
Protecting the integrity of the cable shields during installation is essential to prevent unraveling and electrical shorting. During installation of a multi-pair cable, each pair is bent, twisted and routed around the cabinet to termination points. Shields and tapes can unwrap and expose the inner twisted pairs. In addition to being messy, unraveled shields can short-circuit before the intended grounding point-causing loss of electrical shielding or potentially introducing new electrical noise. Previous time-consuming and costly solutions to combat this problem have included taping or heat-shrink tubing. An improved way to keep the shields intact, separated and insulated from each other, is to use a cable like DataCELL Foundation fieldbus M-EZ cable from Northwire. This cable features a thin, flame-resistant, insulating, extruded PVC binder over the individually shielded pairs. The extruded PVC binder over the pairs eliminates unraveled and exposed shields-preventing the potential for shield connection to other pairs within the multi-pair cable or at any point in the plant.

Coaxial cables have one conductor insulated with a dielectric material and then surrounded by the other conductor, usually referred to as the center conductor and shield. Triaxial cables are specialized coaxial cables.

Coiled cords and cables consist of a wire wound around a tubular axis. The result is a spring-like form that is able to stretch and bend with minimal stress on the wire.
