FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What is the difference between PROFINET Type C (drag-chain) and PROFINET Type R (Robot Ethernet Cable)?
PROFINET Type C cables use 7-wire stranded conductors (AWG 22/7) designed strictly for 2D planar bending in linear energy chains. When twisted ±180°/m on a 6-axis robot arm, 7-wire conductors untwist, altering pair spacing and causing 100 Ω impedance spikes and packet loss. PROFINET Type R Robot Ethernet Cable uses 19-wire concentric stranded conductors (AWG 22/19), PTFE slip layers, and a torsion-compensated braid to pass both 5M torsion cycles (±180°/m) and 5M drag-chain cycles.
Which configuration should I choose for wrist-mounted 3D GigE Vision and machine-vision cameras?
Select the 4×2×AWG26/19 S/FTP Cat.6A (6.8 mm OD) or 4×2×AWG24/19 S/FTP Cat.6A (7.6 mm OD) configuration. Unlike 2-pair Star-Quad cables limited to 100 Mbps, 4-pair Cat.6A S/FTP supports 1000BASE-T (1 Gbps), 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 10GBASE-T up to 500 MHz along with IEEE 802.3at/bt Power over Ethernet (PoE+) to power the camera and ring light over a single cable.
Why does Robot Ethernet Cable carry UL AWM Style 21576 (1000 V jacket rating)?
Inside a robot dress pack or control cabinet, the Ethernet cable runs directly alongside 400 V / 600 V servo motor power cables. UL AWM Style 21576 rates the outer PUR jacket for 1000 V insulation integrity, allowing the Ethernet cable to share the same dress-pack conduit with servo power cables under NFPA 79 and UL 508A without a physical barrier.
Can TEBAOFLEX supply Robot Ethernet Cable pre-assembled with M12 D-coded, M12 X-coded, or RJ45 connectors?
Yes. We supply 100 % Fluke DSX-8000 channel-tested robot patch cords terminated with overmoulded 360°-shielded M12 D-coded (4-pin Cat.5e), M12 X-coded (8-pin Cat.6A 10 Gbps), IX Industrial, or heavy-duty RJ45 plugs.
