FAQs
Q1. What is a bus cable used for?
A bus cable is used to transmit data and power in industrial fieldbus systems such as CAN, Profibus, and ASi networks, enabling reliable communication between controllers, sensors, and actuators.
Q2. What is the difference between CAN bus and Profibus cables?
CAN bus cables are typically 120 Ohm impedance, used for controller area networks in automation and transport. Profibus cables range from 100–150 Ohm impedance and are designed for decentralized peripherals, process control, and instrumentation.
Q3. Can bus cables be shielded?
Yes. TKD CAN bus cables are available in shielded constructions with double shielding for EMC compliance, ensuring signal integrity in noisy industrial environments.
Q4. What is an ASi bus cable?
An ASi bus cable (Actuator Sensor Interface) is a flat, unshielded fieldbus cable designed with reverse polarity protection, commonly used in factory automation, robotics, and automotive production lines.
Q5. What environments can TKD bus cables withstand?
TKD bus cables are oil-, UV-, and flame-resistant, rated for temperatures from -5°C to 105°C, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments including automation, food processing, and energy systems.
