Cable Line Adds Foundation Fieldbus

July 3, 2009
The vendor has expanded its DataCell Field line of cable products to include multi-pair Foundation Fieldbus M-EZ (Marshaling EZ) cables.
The cables are engineered with up to 24 individually foil-shielded pairs with an extruded PVC binder over each pair, all contained within a single cable. The fieldbus cables allow for fast, simple installation into marshaling cabinets and requires no shrink tubing. The cables are FF-844-certified by the Fieldbus Foundation, and offer superior ground system integrity while eliminating the potential for cross continuity between shields, says the vendor. All DataCell Foundation Fieldbus versions are ITC (instrument tray cable)/PLTC  (power-limited tray cable) rated for exposed-run (ER) applications and pass the same crush and impact tests for metal-clad cable (under UL 1569).
