L-com has released two families of outdoor-rated, high-flex Cat5e cables for industrial Ethernet applications. These Cat5e patch cables are built to withstand harsh industrial environments and repetitive motion applications.
The TRD855HFT series cables feature a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) cable jacket that is resistant to industrial oils, UV damage, and weld spatter while maintaining a CMX flame rating. Next, the TRD855HFP series cables employ an economical polyurethane (PUR) cable jacket that is resistant to water as well as UV damage.
“These Cat5e cables are designed for industrial and outdoor environments in which Ethernet cables typically fail due to high-stress conditions,” said Dustin Guttadauro, product manager at L-com.
Both TRD855HFT and TRD855HFP cables offer resistance against sunlight, oil, and chemicals commonly found in the industrial settings. According to Guttadauro, apart from eight standard off-the-shelf lengths, these cables are also available at custom lengths to suit specific installation needs.
