Industrial Ethernet is a type of Ethernet specifically designed for data communication in industrial production. With the widespread adoption of Ethernet for office, the usage of Ethernet devices in industrial networks is gradually gaining popularity in the market. It involves the timely transmission and reception of data within specified periods to accurately send and receive specific manufacturing-related data or execute operations. ZCables’ industrial network cables, developed and tested, are suitable for use in harsh environments and are capable of preventing dust and moisture.

The use of M12 connectors achieves three key features: dustproof, waterproof, and vibration-resistant to prevent detachment. The outer covering of the industrial, flex-resistant network cable is made of PUR, a halogen-free and self-extinguishing thermoplastic elastomer that behaves much like rubber under specific temperature conditions. PUR is highly resistant to bending, and the robust outer sheath material possesses characteristics such as cut resistance, wear resistance, and low-temperature flexibility. It is a commonly used material in machine tools, factory construction, cement plants, paint industries, and the automotive sector.

As ordinary Ethernet networks become more widespread, the importance of industrial equipment continues to grow. Industrial Ethernet ensures high-precision, time-sensitive transmission and reception of specific manufacturing data through a pipeline. In the event of any issues, the system can immediately detect errors and halt equipment operations, effectively preventing the risk of defective products and cost wastage. Moreover, it allows for remote monitoring of machine status in harsh factory environments, ensuring safe and effective operation in hazardous areas and locations where personnel access is challenging.

To meet various customer application needs, a selection of combinations can be made from various RJ45, M12 D code, or X code connectors. If there are any specification-related questions or other requirements, feel free to contact ZCables anytime.
