PoE – power via a network cable

Julian Dymek | 13. January 2020

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is a function that makes it possible to transmit electrical power as well as data via an Ethernet cable. The advantages are considerable as an additional cable for power supply is not necessary. Devices such as WiFi access points and IP web cams can therefore be connected to the infrastructure and […]

Do cables become longer in hanging applications?

Marco Thull | 8. July 2019

Yes, theoretically. However, this effect is irrelevant and can readily be ignored. It is much more important that the tensile force acting on cables in vertical and hanging applications does not exceed a maximum level. The maximum permissible tensile force for standard cables is 15N/mm² cross section of the main cores. Due to a special […]

What is the significance of the three aspects relating to bend radius and temperature?

Marco Thull | 8. July 2019

Three different factors are related to the bend radius for cables. the bend factor in use of a fixed cable the bend factor in use of a flexible cable the use in a linear chain The temperature information of the individual cable families relates to three different scenarios: fixed installation, flexible movement and movement in […]
