igus chainflex CFBUS.045 (CAT5e) and CFBUS.049 (CAT6) Ethernet cables<\/a><\/strong>, have earned an enhanced UL listed mark for use in North America at 600V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cIf there are test certificates for the cables, the time and effort required for customs clearance and commissioning reduces drastically,\u201d explains Justin Leonard, the-chain director, igus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The special braided shielding of these cables provides high EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) protection, which means that these Ethernet cables can be used safely alongside drive cables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have been successfully tested in the igus test laboratory for more than 76 million strokes with a bend radius of 9.5x diameter and are available from stock from 1 metre length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With more than 1,300 types, igus offers the widest range of energy chain cables with international approvals, including UL listed cables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For exporting companies, this makes an easy market entry into the United States, because the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is the most well-known and comprehensively accepted test organisation in the USA. It regularly publishes standards and certifies products, such as the igus cables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
