Automation Cable
Seamless communication for robust industrial environments
A
s industrial automation systems continue to increase in complexity, we understand the challenges
that engineers and manufacturers face in designing and interconnecting system components from
sensors to top-level controllers. Our range of industrial automation cables combines the industryleading quality and exceptional reliability you expect from Alpha Wire with the performance to meet
the rigorous requirements of the major automation communication architectures.
With superior quality to improve system reliability, Alpha Wire’s industrial automation cables are available
from stock, in put-ups as short as 100 feet (30 m), with same-day shipping for immediate needs.
ControlNet™ Low-loss RG-6/U coax designed to meet
the high-speed, time-critical requirements of modern
ControlNet factory-floor automation systems.
RS-485 Bringing proven data transmission protocol to
the factory floor, rugged RS-485 cables reduce electrical
noise sensitivity to keep reliability and performance at
world-class levels.
DeviceNet™ Meeting ODVA thick and thin specifications,
the cables comply with Allen-Bradley 1485 CPI-A and
1485 CPI-C, and support high data rates (500 kb/s at
100 m and 125 kb/s at 500 m).
Fieldbus and PROFIBUS® A complete family to meet ruggedness, performance, and quality requirements of almost
any fieldbus and PROFIBUS application environment.
Industrial Twinax A robust physical media for the
transmission of PLC/DCS signals in real-time, high-throughput
applications, including Allen-Bradley Data Highway networks.
The cables may be installed in the same tray or conduit as
600-volt power cable.
