Ethernet Cables

Ethernet is a multi-purpose communication protocol considered the data standard for industrial applications. AutomationDirect offers several PLCs, HMIs, and drives that support Ethernet protocols for data distribution, software programming, and configuration. These Ethernet cables are ideal for all our Ethernet-based products and other devices that support Ethernet communications.

Designed for Industrial Use

Noise interference radiated from electrical components often associated with factory floor environments can result in partial or complete data loss, which may delay or completely block communication in extremely noisy environments. These industrial Ethernet cables are designed with additional protections, including foil shields and shielded connectors, to reduce the effects of (EMI) electromagnetic interference.
