Hybrid cables

A new generation of MOTIONLINE® hybrid cables deliver power, control and data within a single cable in an all-in-one solution that generates up to 40% savings of overall cabling costs for machine and robot makers compared to multiple cable installation. A hybrid cable in industry automation combines energy transmission with further transmission, like signal, bus/Ethernet or encoder. This simplifies installation, while still offering superior performance in terms of bending radius, operating speeds, acceleration, and durability, due to Nexans’ expertise in dynamic applications. These cables combining power and data transmission via Ethernet can mean a real breakthrough for machine manufacturers in terms of efficient cabling.
