Industrial Ethernet Cables

Industrial Ethernet/Profibus has been developing rapidly over several years and now has the potential to transcend from corporate IT level right to the I/O device level on the production line. Whilst there is little convergence at present between the commercial IT Ethernet Products and the industrial applications, there is no reason why this should not develop a smooth integration in the future. For the cable there is a distinct look and feel of difference between commercial Ethernet cable and industrial the Ethernet cable and whilst the technology may converge there are still very good reason to keep these cables different. Primarily the environment in which industrial the Ethernet Networks are being asked to operate in is harsher and in many localised applications potentially destructive to standard commercial grade cables, hence "industrial" Ethernet.
