Extending its CATLine product series, SAB Bröckskes has launched application-tailored Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) cables in five variants. A member of the SPE network, the special cable manufacturer drives the further development of this technology. Compared to conventional 4-pair Ethernet connections, SPE offers significant savings potential in material, space and costs as high data rates can be transmitted over long distances with just one pair of copper cores. The CATLine SPE cables newly developed by SAB Bröckskes can withstand high mechanical loads and temperatures and are highly resistant to chemicals, oils and cleaning agents. The portfolio includes the two variants CATLine SPE C-Track and SPE Robot, which are optimized for increasing data transmission rates in automation applications. The CATLine SPE C-Track cable, which is specified for drag chain use, features a permanently flexible design and an especially adapted stranding technology. The version for robot use is characterized by its high torsional strength of +/- 180°. Both variants are UL-certified and ensure secure and reliable data transmission with bandwidths from 1MHz to 600MHz. In addition, they are RoHS-compliant and free of substances that could hinder coating processes. SAB Bröckskes also offers HT, Rugged and Rail SPE cable variants for high-temperature environments, rugged indoor and outdoor use and rail vehicles. All cables are designed as a single pair (2 x AWG 26/7) and can also be provided as hybrid versions, depending on the application area.
