F&S Cables - DeviceNet Thick Bus Cables

DeviceNet™ Thick Cables

Designed for use on Allen Bradley DeviceNet™ systems, the “thick” cable construction incorporates a power and data pair for backbone wiring. Several sheathing options are available for different installation environments. These cables are also referred to as DeviceNet™ Trunk cables.

Allen Bradley DeviceNet™ is a Rockwell Automation system supported by ODVA.

Static cables

Power pair: Tinned copper conductors 15AWG (1.5mm² approx), PVC insulation, aluminium foil screen.

Data pair: Tinned copper conductors 18AWG (0.75mm² approx), foamed PE insulation, aluminium foil screen.

Lay-Up: Pairs laid up with a common 18AWG (0.75mm² approx) tinned copper drain wire, overall tinned copper wire braid – 65% optical coverage, PVC or CPE sheath.

Dynamic cables

Power pair: Tinned copper conductors 15AWG (1.5mm² approx), PE insulation, aluminium foil screen.

Data pair: Tinned copper conductors 18AWG (0.75mm² approx), foamed PE insulation, aluminium foil screen.

Lay-Up: Pairs laid up with a common 18AWG (0.75mm² approx) tinned copper drain wire, overall tinned copper wire braid – 65% optical coverage, PUR sheath.

Fire retardant, fire resistant, flame resistant or flame retardant?

These terms are often misunderstood. Most cables when exposed to fire will not carry on functioning. If you require cable to continue working in the event of fire, and in accordance with various standards please call us.
