“Thin” cables are designed to connect sensors, actuators and switching to the DeviceNet™ backbone (Thick cable) on the Allen Bradley DeviceNet™ system. Similar in construction to the backbone cable, the “Thin” cable incorporates a power and data pair. Several sheathing options are available for different installation environments. These cables are also referred to as DeviceNet™ Drop cables.

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

 

Power pair: Tinned copper conductors 22AWG (0.34mm² approx), PVC insulation, aluminium foil screen.

Data pair: Tinned copper conductors 24AWG (0.22mm² approx), foamed PE insulation, aluminium foil screen.

Lay-Up: Pairs laid up with a common 22AWG (0.34mm² approx) tinned copper drain wire, overall tinned copper wire braid – 65% optical coverage, PVC or CPE sheath.

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.
