Industrial Data Cables

PROFIBUS is the world’s most popular Fieldbus system with application specific profiles such as:

• PROFIBUS DP – optimized for factory automation
• PROFIBUS PA – optimized for process automation

To meet the specifications of PROFIBUS DP, Belden has developed a range of 150-Ohm Twinax (twisted pair) cables. These cables match the impedance of the factory automation systems, allowing for maximum signal transmission, while their overall Beldfoil® shield plus a 65% tinned copper braid are incorporated for maximum shielding effectiveness. For PROFIBUS PA, Belden offers an 18 AWG stranded twisted pair cable with an overall Beldfoil®shield and an intrinsically safe (IS) blue jacket.

Belden provides an extensive line of DeviceBus® cables which are typically designated as either Class 1 (600 V) or Class 2 (300 V) “Thick”, “Thin,” or “Mid” cable. They can be used for either trunk or drop applications, dependent on the system speed and overall end-to-end distance.

To ensure that Belden’s ControlBus cables meet the high-speed, time-critical requirements for the operation of ControlNet™ factory-floor systems, these Low-Loss RG-6/U Type coaxes incorporate a Duobond® Quad Shield for maximum signal integrity and run length.

The Belden range of Fieldbus cables is complemented by an extensive range of Industrial Ethernet cabling offering the same superior performance for Ethernet based applications. With high foil and braided shield coverage to maintain signal integrity in the industrial ‘noisy’ environment, Belden Industrial Ethernet cables ensure product reliability and consistent performance. Innovative shielding techniques ensure maximum protection in EMI (Electromagnetic interference) and RF (Radio frequency) spectrums.

PROFINET is the leading Industrial Ethernet standard for automation, the Belden range of PROFINET compliant cables is designed to withstand the entire spectrum of environmental and mechanical hazards, from temperature extremes and sunlight, to solvents, oils, chemicals and moisture.

For standard Industrial Ethernet and EtherNet/ IP™ variants, Belden offer a range of 4 pair and 2 pair cable designs with Cat 5e and Cat 7 transmission performance, available with solid and stranded conductors to suit the full spectrum of industrial applications. Belden’s high performance industrial cabling is designed and approved to international standards for quality and safety assurance in the global environment.

To meet the particularly harsh conditions found in such industries as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, mining, power generation, wastewater treatment, pulp and paper, food processing and transportation, these cables are also available with multiple armoring and jacketing options.

Belden offers the most comprehensive, range of industrial cable products on the market today.
