Product overview of High-Flex CAT5e LAN Cable

External appearance

Shielded LAN cable with special polymer and special shielding to achieve higher flexibility and greater noise resistance than ever.
Compatible with Gigabit Ethernet and realizes high-speed transmission of 1 Gbps.
Supports high-speed image transmission for industrial Ethernet and machine vision.
The lineup includes shielded modular plugs and harnesses with screw lock modular plugs.
Flexible and extremely supple.
This product has high flexibility and slidability due to the special polymer insulator with excellent flexibility and the special braided shield. It also supports twisting motions.
A special braided shield improves noise resistance.
Due to an oil resistant sheath, this product can be used in environments such as factories.
The lineup includes shielded modular plugs and harnesses with screw lock modular plugs that can be used for movable parts. A general shielded modular plug (RJ45) can be used for the cable.
LAN cable compatible with the 1000BASE-T standard (transmission speed: 1 Gbps).
Suitable for applications that require flexibility and slidability such as robots, factory automation equipment.
