米兰体育中国官方网站 Co., Ltd.

Okano Cable Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 1-5-28 Fukami-Nishi Yamato-Shi Kanagawa; President: Masaru Seto), a member of the 米兰体育中国官方网站 Group, has developed the industry’s first thin industrial LAN cable that withstands repeated bending, and will begin selling the product in September 2018. The UL-certified product uses a special conductor developed by 米兰体育中国官方网站 to achieve a degree of bendability 1.5 times greater than conventional products.

Background

With recent advances in the automation and high performance of manufacturing equipment, there is a growing need in the industrial robotics field for industrial LAN cables that can be run in small spaces inside severe environments.
米兰体育中国官方网站 has taken a leading role within its industry in developing high-density industrial LAN cables, such as launching a mobile ultra-thin LAN cable in 2014 with an outer diameter of only 4.0 mm—the thinnest in the industry. 米兰体育中国官方网站 has now developed a UL-certified product after receiving many requests from its customers.

Details

Based on its popular ultra-thin mobile LAN cable, Okano Cable applied the alloy strip and process design technologies it developed together with 米兰体育中国官方网站 to develop a UL-certified highly flexible industrial LAN cable. This product is just as thin as the previous product at an outer diameter of only 4.0 mm, but is also capable of withstanding a 90° bending test 15 million times or more (1.5 times that of conventional products). It also offers a dual shielded structure for a high level of noise resistance and yet is thin, light, and flexible—making it the ideal LAN cable for use with industrial robotics and other equipment used in severe environments.
