Long service life of the CFBUS.PUR.042 guaranteed by extensive testing
Reduction in size of cable and connector creates extra space even in the smallest e-chains series.  In contrast to the current BUS systems, the significantly increased data transmission rate with simultaneous reduction of the diameter will also allow the cost-effective connection of sensors with high data volumes in the future. The user doesn't have to forego quality in the process. The oil-resistant and flame-retardant CFBUS.PUR.042 has been extensively tested in the 3,800 square metre igus test laboratory. As with all of the over 1354 cables in the extensive product range, for the online predictable Single Pair Ethernet cable, the customer will also receive a guarantee of 10 million double strokes and 36 months.
 
SPE is therefore a real alternative to other bus systems in applications with small bend radii and small installation spaces such as industrial camera applications or position or monitoring sensors.  Such camera vision systems primarily serve as detection and positioning systems.  Until now, such sensors had to be connected in the field via bus interfaces with 4 or 8-core Ethernet cable. With SPE, each sensor can be directly integrated into the superordinate control level.
 

Introduction of the new chainflex SPE cable (German)

Online shop for bus cables

In addition to SPE, chainflex® bus cables are also available for all other industrial bus systems such as Profinet, Ethernet, CAN bus or CC-Link. Depending on the cable family, they can be used for torsion resistance, tight radii, or particularly long travels and high speeds.

36 month chainflex® guarantee

In addition to the SPE cables, we give a 36-month guarantee on all our chainflex® cables with good faith, because with over 30 years of experience in our 3,800 m² large test laboratory and 700 parallel running test trials, we can make reliable predictions about the service life of our cables.

igus energy chains from the market leader

Energy chains are mechanical machine elements. They are there to guide and protect energy, data and signals that have to withstand the most diverse environmental influences. The decisive factor here is the symbiosis of the components moving against each other.
