F&S Cables - CAN Bus Cabling

CAN Bus Cables

CAN Bus (Control Area Network) is a non addressable system which treats all devices as equal allowing fast transmission of data. Due to its robust nature it has been widely adopted in the automotive industry. Several versions of CAN Bus cables have been developed to meet the fast changing needs of the automation industry.

All the types listed below are for high flexing automation applications, static versions can also be supplied.

Cable Construction

Superfine plain copper conductors, foamed PE with a hard skin insulation, cores twisted into pairs, polyester tape, tinned copper wire braid, PUR sheath

ISO 11898 recommendations
