Flexible cat.6A Category 6A cables have long supported fast data transmission rates in industrial Ethernet systems, but lacked the continuous flex or torsion design features necessary for moving machine applications. Lapp Group’s new Etherline ® cat.6A cables have been designed to remove these limitations. In what is believed to be an industry first, the new Etherline cables combine cat.6A’s 10Gbits per second data transfer rates with continuous flex and torsion performance suitable for robotics, machine vision systems, wind turbines and other industrial machines with motion systems. Previous continuous flex industrial Ethernet cables offered data transfer rates of up to 1Gbit per second. Etherline cat.6A is available in continuous flex and torsion versions. The continuous flex version is suitable for use in cable tracks and is tested for over a million bending cycles, while the torsion version is optimized for torsion applications. Cable management solutions Siemon has released its new RouteIT ® vertical and horizontal cable management solution. Available in single- and double-sided vertical managers in a range of widths, and in horizontal managers with either 4'' or 6'' management fingers, the RouteIT cable managers provide a system solution for routing and protecting both horizontal cables and patch cords. The high capacity, field-replaceable fingers can easily accommodate 48 category 6A cables to

work seamlessly with high-density patch panels and high-density blade switches, while offering a finger radius that prevents deformation of cable. “As part of our commitment to offer a comprehensive line of cable management systems, we introduced the new RouteIT vertical and horizontal cable managers to specifically address high density cabling systems in a variety of telecommunications spaces,” said Dave Valentukonis, cabling support systems business unit manager for Siemon, adding: “The RouteIT vertical cable managers are extremely flexible. They come in 6, 10, 12 and...16 inch widths, and the divider brackets can even be positioned to taper capacity from the front to the rear."

The RouteIT vertical and horizontal cable manager solutions also feature a range of mounting points for optional Siemon ¼-turn management accessories, fiber management spools and cable ties, for easy segregation of media types. cabl e manager.
