Continuous Flexing Industrial Ethernet Cable

Continuous flexing Ethernet cable is specifically designed for constantly moving applications such as robotic arms, or when C-track is used to provide Ethernet signals to moving equipment. Available in shielded or unshielded styles in lengths up to 1000 ft, the cable's Industrial jacketing has excellent weather and hazard resistance.

Unshielded

Shielded

Heavy Duty Continuous Flex Ethernet Cable

Quabbin® Shielded and Unshielded Continuous Flexing Ethernet Cable

Designed for use in EtherNet/IP™ systems

24 AWG, 2 or 4 twisted pairs with high density polyethylene insulation

Unshielded or overall braid and foil shields

Pressure extruded FR-TPE jacket for excellent chemical, moisture, and flame resistance, and exceptional low temperature flexibility

Commercial Ethernet cables have a tube jacket surrounding the conductor pairs this jacket design has room for the pairs to move around and even untwist in flexing applications, resulting in early mechanical or electrical failure of the cable.

Quabbin® DataMax Extreme Industrial Ethernet cable jackets were developed to survive the many industrial hazards that commercial jackets will not.

DataMax Extreme cable jackets are pressure extruded over the cable core, effectively "locking" the conductor pairs in place. This type of jacket construction provides very stable electrical performance, even when the cable is impacted, bent, or repeatedly flexed. Pressure extrusion also provides a very smooth, round, and firm jacket allowing the cable to be flexed up to 10 million cycles without failure.

Applications - Flexing versus Flexible

Continuous Flexing Cables: Cables designed to be exposed to constant flexing during their operation & withstand millions of these flex cycles.
Flexible Cables: Cables designed to be bent and routed in an installation then remain static. Think of this as "bendability". Note: Our current offering of Multi-Conductor Control Cable is Flexible not Flexing.
