New IX Industrial Ethernet Cables with Angled Connectors Are Compact but Rugged

L-com’s Latest Industrial Assemblies Have Options for High-Flex, LSZH and Economy

IRVINE, Calif. − L-com, an Infinite Electronics brand and a supplier of wired and wireless connectivity products, has just added a new line of IX industrial Ethernet cables with angled connectors. The Cat 6a assemblies solve tight cable routing issues in confined spaces with right-angle up or down options. They are ideal for factory and other industrial settings, especially security and machine vision camera applications.

The new Ethernet cable line is rated IX industrial Type A for 10-gigabit Ethernet in harsh environments requiring compact, robust connectors. All use 26 AWG wire and are SF/UTP or F/UTP shielded for protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). They are 100% PoE capable and compatible.

The newly released line includes versions for outdoor-and-high-flex-industrial, CMX low smoke zero halogen (LSZH), and CMR PVC economy jacket types. Each version comes in lengths of 1 meter or 3 meters.

The outdoor-and-high-flex-industrial assemblies are offered in three configurations: a down-angle IX A plug on one end and options of an IX A plug, RJ-45 jack, or RJ-45 plug on the other end. They are protected by a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) outer jacket for flexibility, durability, chemical resistance and temperature tolerance.

The LSZH cable assemblies feature six configurations: down-angle IX A plug to IX A plug, to RJ-45 jack or to RJ-45 plug; and up-angle IX A plug to IX A plug, to RJ-45 jack, or to RJ-45 plug. The flame-retardant jacket is rated CMX LSZH for low smoke emission, zero halogens and reduced toxicity in the event of a fire.

The economy cable assemblies also come in six configurations: down-angle IX A plug to IX A plug, to RJ-45 jack or to RJ-45 plug; and up-angle IX A plug to IX A plug, to RJ-45 jack, or to RJ-45 plug. Protection is provided by a PVC outer jacket rated CMR/CMX.

“Not all cable assemblies with compact connectors are robust but these certainly are,” said Product Line Manager Dustin Guttadauro. “You can parallel mount them to fit more connectors in a smaller space, and the entire assembly is well protected for years of industrial use.”

L-com’s new IX industrial Ethernet cables with angled connectors are in stock now and available for immediate shipment.
