Product Introduction
APPLICATION
RS485 Communication Cables are designed for high-reliability differential serial data transmission, fully compliant with the TIA/EIA-485 electrical interface standard. They deliver stable long-distance communication with superior anti-interference performance, and are widely used in:
- Industrial automation control systems (PLC, DCS, SCADA system networking)
- Building automation & intelligent building control (BMS, access control, fire alarm systems)
- Smart grid & power distribution automation equipment communication
- Security & video surveillance system data transmission
- Traffic signal & intelligent transportation system (ITS) networking
- Renewable energy projects (solar, wind farm) field device communication
- Petrochemical, metallurgy & mining field instrument and sensor data transmission
These cables can be installed in cable trays, buried in conduits, laid indoors/outdoors, or deployed in harsh industrial environments, with excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference, mechanical stress and environmental corrosion.
CONSTRUCTION
- Conductor: Annealed Bare Copper / Tinned Copper, Class 1 (solid) / Class 5 (stranded) conductor, common sizes AWG24/22/20 (0.2mm²~0.5mm²)
- Insulation: High-performance Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) / Polyethylene (PE) / PVC insulation, ensuring stable dielectric properties and standard 120Ω characteristic impedance
- Twisted Pair: Core wires twisted in pairs with precise lay length, to reduce crosstalk and ensure differential signal transmission stability
- Drain Wire: Tinned copper drain wire for continuous and reliable grounding (for shielded structures)
- Inner Shielding: Aluminum Foil Shielding (100% coverage) for all-round anti-electromagnetic interference protection
- Total Shielding: Tinned Copper Braided Shielding (coverage ≥85%), for enhanced EMI/RFI resistance in harsh industrial environments
- Inner Lining: Extruded polymer inner lining for core structure reinforcement and protection
- Armour (optional): Steel Tape Armour (STA) / Steel Wire Armour (SWA) for mechanical damage protection, suitable for direct burial and harsh outdoor scenarios
- Outer Sheath: High-quality PVC / LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) / PE / PUR sheath, customizable for different environmental requirements
- Core Identification: Color-coded core pairs for easy on-site installation and maintenance
