chainflex® high-end bus cable: CFBUS immediately available with 600V UL certification

With CFBUS, all standard Ethernet types such as Profinet, Ethercat or CC-Link IE can now be guided together with cables of a higher voltage

The new cables with 600V UL approval now enable the user to lay Ethernet cables in an e-chain without separator directly next to cables with a higher UL voltage level, offering tangible savings potential.

UL means "Underwriters Laboratories" and is an independent organisation in the USA. This organisation tests various products for their safety. With regard to cables, UL stipulates that all cables with different voltage classes in one cable guide must always be laid mechanically separated from one another. The new high-end 600V bus cables from chainflex® eliminate the need for this significant additional cost and effort.

Ethernet cables with 600V UL certification

Or: what are the voltage levels available with UL?

UL has the voltage levels 30V, 300V, 600V and 1000V in industrial environments. Each level is predefined by the application.

With regard to fire protection, the safety requirements of UL in the country of origin, the USA, are much stricter than ours. Only appropriately tested products are awarded the UL verification mark. For cables, UL stipulates that all cables with different voltage classes and lying side by side must always be mechanically separated from each other. This can be achieved by using appropriate components such as separators in an energy chain.

Of course this involves a lot of effort and above all costs. Using the energy chain as an example, one can say: "If all cables had the same voltage level, the cables would probably lie next to each other without mechanical separation. This makes processing easier and saves enormous costs."

UL verified: 36-month chainflex guarantee and service life calculation based on 2 billion test cycles per year

For many years, the technical requirements for energy chain systems have been increasing. Travels have become longer, movements quicker and bend radii smaller. Core ruptures, jacket abrasion and corkscrews are the result. igus has risen to the challenge and developed cables that can withstand high mechanical stress chainflex cables.

As a consistent continuation of this technological claim, igus is, in 2020, the first European company to have its brand promise for chainflex cables validated by an external body. In a complex certification process, the US "Underwriters Laboratories" institute, confirmed the accuracy of the "igus® 36-month chainflex® cable guarantee and service life calculator based on two billion test cycles per year" promise. This makes igus the first company in Europe to have the veracity of its advertising statement confirmed by an internationally recognised testing institution.
