Igus and Harting
Partnership for reliable Ethernet transmission
Ensuring secure data transfer and reliable power supply in ever tighter installation spaces is a challenge that many engineers are currently facing. To meet this challenge, Igus has introduced a highly flexible Chainflex Ethernet cable for demanding movements. The robust cable with a long service life is the ideal partner for the new ix connector from Harting.
With the extremely flexible yet robust CFBUS.LB Ethernet bus cables, Igus provides the perfect complement to the Harting connector, which saves 70 percent space compared to the previous solution. This is a particular advantage in miniature housings, for example in camera systems, WLAN access points, routers or other digital components. Thanks to their special design, the Chainflex cables also require 50 percent less space than standard Ethernet cables.
Industry partner 4.0 in the tightest of spaces
"Low bending" is the buzzword for a particularly low bending radius for cables in energy chains. This is why Igus uses the abbreviation LB for the CFBUS.LB bus cable family, which is synonymous with the highest mechanical requirements. They are suitable for all common bus systems such as Ethernet CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, Ethercat or Profinet. According to the company, the CF11 twisted pair data cable has the tightest bending radius currently available on the market.
Thanks to extreme bending radii of up to 6.8 x d, the high-end Chainflex cable can be used in the smallest installation spaces and for deep-freeze applications with temperatures down to -35 °C. The flexible cables demonstrate their strengths in terms of service life in continuous movement in pick-and-place machines, in the semiconductor sector or in highly dynamic packaging technology. This has been demonstrated by extensive test series. The CF11 data cable can therefore be optimally integrated into Harting's new ix Industrial (Type A) connector solution, which has just been presented at the Hanover Fair and is particularly suitable for compact data interfaces.
