POF and PCF Bus Cables for Industrial Communications

Polymer and hard clad silica fibre offer a practical way to get optical data through machines without the handling worries of glass. AP Technology supplies POF and PCF wires and bus cables for industrial communications, including machine and drive networks. They are useful for noise immunity over shorter runs, especially around high power drives. Your choice between POF, PCF and glass fibre will mostly depend on distance, data rate and how the cable needs to be terminated and routed. AP Technology holds over 750 cable types in stock at its London warehouse, with access to thousands more through strategic partnerships. The range takes in servo, encoder, robotic, control, power, bus, instrumentation, electronic and data, audio and video, and fibre optic cable. Partners include Tecnikabel, TKD and Nexans, which gives you a wide choice of constructions and approvals without needing a separate vendor for each. 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. AP Technology was founded in 2001 and is a franchised specialist supplier of cable, connectors, cable assemblies, wire and wire management products. Its main differentiator is service, with in-house cable assembly, scheduled and call-off orders, no minimum order value on stocked products, a cable cutting service, custom labels and packaging, and global shipping.
