Chainflex Fiber Optic and CAT7 Continuous-Flex Cables

For “smart” factories to function at their best, real-time communication between machines at all levels is of paramount importance. To ensure that all stations can properly share data, Ethernet cables will be used in increasing numbers throughout factories and equipment. To suit the needs for Ethernet cables in moving applications, igus offers more than 30 types, all exclusively designed to suit a range of dynamic industrial applications and mechanical requirements.

CAT7 Ethernet cables increase the data transfer rates of CAT5e and CAT6 cables by as much as tenfold to increase the communication inside Industry 4.0 facilities. igus supplies CAT7 cables for dynamic applications and offers CAT7 cables in three jacket material options for rolling flex applications, as well as a torsional CAT7 option for robotic applications.
