It is not yet possible to predict exactly what Industry 4.0 will look like in automated production. What is certain is that with increasing networking and communication of system components, ever larger amounts of data will have to be transmitted reliably, even under the most difficult conditions. For example, cables and wires are often exposed to enormous torsional loads or extremely high temperatures and come into contact with various chemicals, oils or cleaning agents, particularly in industries such as mechanical engineering, robotics or railway technology. The issue of durability is also of essential importance in relation to Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing sector.

In response to the megatrends of digitalisation and Industry 4.0, cable specialist SAB is presenting a highly innovative range of new Category 6, 6A, 7 and 7A Industrial Ethernet cables, which are not only extremely robust but also guarantee fast and efficient data transmission, 70 years after it was founded. The focus is on two Industrial Gigabit Ethernet cables that have been specially developed for the increasing data transmission rates in automation. In addition to the world premiere CATLine CAT 7A RT, a CAT 7A cable suitable for robots, SAB Bröckskes will be presenting a cable suitable for drag chains with UL/CSA approval – CATLine CAT 7A S.
