Industrial Ethernet Cables for Factory Networks

Standard office data cable is not designed to live on a factory floor. Industrial Ethernet cables from AP Technology, including Cat.5e and Cat.7 options, are chosen for the oil, vibration, movement and electrical noise found in production environments. They connect PLCs, HMIs, cameras, drives and network switches across the plant. Flexible and screened constructions are available for different duties, and cable can be terminated and tested as complete leads to suit your installation. When standard cable will not do, a bespoke cable can be designed around the electrical, environmental and approval requirements of the job. Once the design is done, AP Technology produces a drawing and data sheet for you to check before a quotation is submitted. Nothing goes ahead on assumptions, and you see precisely what is proposed before committing any budget. Getting cable right starts with how it will actually be used. Fixed installation, drag chain travel, continuous bending and torsion all ask different things of a conductor, screen and sheath.

Sheath material then comes down to the surroundings, whether that means oil, UV, direct burial or a space where low smoke zero halogen material is preferred. The AP Technology team starts with the application and works back to the construction. Based in Hayes with stock held in the UK, AP Technology ships to manufacturers, subcontractors, installers and resellers worldwide. The company is ISO 9001 quality accredited and works from design, sourcing and manufacture through to delivery, so one technical sales team can look after a project from the first question to the final consignment.
