Description

In short: An Ethernet cable, also known as an Ethernet line, is a cable for wired networks in accordance with the Ethernet standard. However, since this is not everything, we would like to give you a few more details: the Ethernet standard is a data transmission technology for transmitting data packages in local home and office networks or as Industrial Ethernet (IE), extended to include special protocols, including industrial networks.

Industrial Ethernet cables in particular are more robust versions of the classic Ethernet or LAN cables, which can be found in an office environment, for example. They are mechanically and chemically tested, can be used in various areas of application and are durable.

An Ethernet cable assembled with an Ethernet connector is used to create and disconnect connections in Ethernet networks. Thanks to their special design, Ethernet cables offer you the highest range, speed and stability in copper-based data transmission.

Applications

Depending on the application area, this involves several kilometres of cable length, which are exposed to the most adverse conditions in some locations.

In the LAPP portfolio, you will find various Ethernet cable variants that cover almost all application areas in the industrial environment.
