Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Stranded Copper Conductors: With 26 AWG stranded copper, you can achieve 30% greater flexibility than solid-core cables, enabling easier installation in tight spaces.
    • Enhanced Shielding: The Pro Model’s STP + braided shielding reduces crosstalk by 40% compared to standard FTP, ensuring reliability in noisy industrial settings.
    • RS-485 Compatibility: With this protocol, you can transmit data up to 1.2 km—2x farther than RS-232—making it ideal for distributed systems.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Best for standard industrial setups (e.g., small factories) where cost efficiency is prioritized.
    • Advanced Model: Optimal for high-speed automation (e.g., smart manufacturing) needing Cat 6 performance.
    • Pro Model: Required for extreme environments (e.g., oil rigs, mining) where temperature extremes and EMI are critical.

Example: The Pro Model’s IP67-rated jacket and -30°C to 85°C range enable safe deployment in outdoor substations. Pair its STP shielding with RS-485’s long-distance capability to create a fail-safe network for remote sensors.
