High-flex Ethernet cordsets

High-flex Ethernet cordsets are now a part of the North American cabling portfolio. The increased complexity of automated processes is driving demand for network cables that can do more in a limited amount of space. Ethernet cables and cordsets can be run next to power circuits, have Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, and have increased longevity in demanding industrial and robotic applications.

In addition to where Ethernet cables can go, what Ethernet cables can do is also expanding. Flex ratings (with a proper bend radius) have increased to allow for use beyond static applications. PoE is also changing the way Ethernet cables are used. Already in use in the commercial world for devices such as surveillance cameras, PoE is growing in popularity for the industrial world as well. Our cable material is PoE-compliant when installed per recommendations in TIA TSB-184. As Ethernet networking continues to grow, its use is increasing in industrial areas where equipment is close to high-voltage cabling. Our 600 volt-rated UL AWM 2463 Ethernet cable jacket meets NFPA 79 requirements to be run together with high-voltage power and signal cables. This benefit not only saves space, but also saves cost by eliminating the need to route Ethernet cables in separate paths.

One of the biggest strengths of the Phoenix Contact North American program is the ability to provide local production and service through our facility in Harrisburg, PA. No borders, no added logistics.
