Industrial and Communication Cables

Industrial and communication cables are specially constructed cables designed for a specific data bus, sensor or drive in automation systems, carrying data, measurement signals or motor power. They are used for communication between PLCs, drives and field devices, on KNX lines in building automation, and for carrying sensor signals in weighing and temperature measurement. The subgroups include ready-made servo motor cables from GMT and Isıso in lengths such as 3 m, 5 m and 10 m, Profibus, Profinet, EIB-BUS and RS-485 cables sold by the meter by manufacturers such as Mekas Kablo, and thermocouple compensation and load cell cables. Choose the cable first according to the communication protocol or the model of the device to be connected, then according to the core and pair configuration, shield type, sheath material, and fixed or moving installation. On data bus cables, impedance and pair configuration are protocol-specific, so the cable type specified by the device manufacturer is the basis. For ready-made servo cables, the connector varies with the drive and motor series, so verify the product code against the motor power and brake status.

How to choose Industrial and Communication Cables

Industrial and communication cables are specially constructed cables designed for a specific data bus, sensor or drive in automation systems, carrying data, measurement signals or motor power. They are used for communication between PLCs, drives and field devices, on KNX lines in building automation, and for carrying sensor signals in weighing and temperature measurement.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
