Portfolio offers RJ45/RJ45 double-ended cables with multiple jacket types in 5 colors
Offering a variety of industrial cable jacket types, the RJ45/RJ45 Ethernet portfolio from Balluff delivers increased durability for connectivity in manufacturing environments.
Balluff offers three main cable jackets:
- PVC (polyvinyl chloride) – the most common jacket type with high moisture resistance
- PUR (polyurethane) – good resistance against abrasion, oil and ozone
- TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) – highly flexible and resistant to aging in sunlight/UV and weld spatter
Additionally, the portfolio offers Ethernet in five different colors — red, orange, green, royal blue, and teal — to help maintenance and IT teams troubleshoot and diagnose network issues. The colored cables allow companies to create a reference for quick recognition of the connection type.
For example, runs between managed and local unmanaged switches could use orange cables; teal cables could connect field-level devices like sensors and I/O; red cables could connect robots in the work cell to a local switch.
With multiple colors and jacket materials, Balluff helps companies implement an Ethernet network to meet their real-time communication needs, while surviving the harsh conditions of an industrial environment.
