Skip to product information
This industrial Ethernet cable is designed for PROFINET, EtherCAT and servo drive connections where reliable data transfer is essential. It uses a shielded twisted pair construction with 26AWG conductors and a 6.9mm outer diameter, supporting Cat6 Gigabit performance. The flexible PVC jacket comes in black, light green or sky blue, so you can colour-code network segments for easier maintenance. Lengths from 0.1m to 4m are available, covering short patch leads and longer panel runs without unnecessary slack. This cable is suitable for machine builders, system integrators and maintenance teams working in automation and control cabinet environments.
This section covers the materials and build details that affect signal stability and installation. The cable uses a shielded twisted pair design, which is a common choice for industrial networks where electromagnetic interference can disrupt communication.
This cable is intended for industrial network connections where Cat6 Gigabit performance and shielding are beneficial. It can be used in control cabinets, machinery and automation equipment that rely on PROFINET, EtherCAT or servo drive communication.
This cable offers practical value through its shielded construction, flexible jacket and range of lengths and colours. It is designed to support reliable data transmission in automation environments.

Industrial Cat6 Shielded Cable for PROFINET EtherCAT Servo Networks
Features and Construction
Material and Build
The cable features a PVC jacket that provides a flexible outer layer for routing in control panels and machinery. The twisted pair conductors are 26AWG, and the overall outer diameter is 6.9mm. Shielding is included to help protect the signal from interference. The construction is described as super class 6, which indicates Cat6 performance. The PVC material is not specified with a particular flame rating or temperature range, so it is best suited to standard industrial environments where those details are not critical.Size and Practical Fit
The 6.9mm outer diameter fits standard RJ45 connectors and common cable ducts. The 26AWG wire gauge keeps the cable lightweight and easy to dress in tight spaces. Available lengths include 0.1m, 0.2m, 0.3m, 0.5m, 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m, 3m and 4m. This range allows you to choose a length that matches the distance between devices without leaving excess cable that can cause clutter or signal problems. For very short patch connections, the 0.1m option is useful; for longer runs within a cabinet, the 4m option may be appropriate.Uses and Placement
Event or Professional Use
In professional automation settings, this cable connects PLCs, servo drives, remote I/O modules and other devices that use PROFINET or EtherCAT protocols. The shielded twisted pair construction helps maintain signal integrity in environments with motors, drives and other sources of electrical noise. Machine builders and system integrators can use the colour options to distinguish different network segments or device groups. The flexible PVC jacket allows routing through cable chains and moving axes, provided the bend radius is respected.Everyday Home Use
While this is an industrial cable, it can also be used in home or small office networks where a short Cat6 patch lead is needed. The shielded design may be beneficial in areas with many electronic devices. However, the cable is supplied without connectors, so it is not a plug-and-play patch lead unless you fit RJ45 plugs yourself. For typical home use, a standard patch cable may be more convenient. This product is primarily aimed at industrial and professional users who require a specific length and colour for their network setup.Benefits and Buying Value
Reuse and Low Maintenance
The PVC jacket is wipe-clean and resistant to everyday abrasion, which helps the cable withstand routine use in control cabinets. The shielded twisted pair design reduces the need for additional interference suppression in many installations. Because the cable is available in multiple lengths, you can order the exact length required, reducing waste and cable clutter. The colour options allow you to maintain a clear network layout, which can simplify troubleshooting and future modifications. No specific maintenance schedule is provided, but visual inspection for damage is recommended as part of regular equipment checks.Why Choose This Product
Choose this cable when you need a shielded Cat6 industrial Ethernet cable for PROFINET, EtherCAT or servo applications. The 26AWG conductors and 6.9mm outer diameter are suitable for standard RJ45 connectivity. The flexible PVC jacket and colour choices help with installation and organisation. The length range from 0.1m to 4m covers many common connection distances. This product is a practical option for machine builders, system integrators and maintenance teams who require a specific length and colour without paying for unnecessary features. Always confirm the required length and colour before ordering, as the cable is supplied without connectors.
