Test setup: CFBUS bus cable

This test assessed the expected service life of the CFBUS.052 in an e-chain with a 100mm radius.

The aim of the test was to determine the service life of the chainflex bus cable in a radius of 100mm with a travel of up to seven metres. This Ethernet cable is required to ensure reliable data transmission over the longest possible service life despite constant movement.
The demand for quality in combination with a small bend radius is particularly prevalent in industrial machines and applications that have to process a large amount of data. In addition, small installation spaces are often a major challenge for the durability of the cables.

The cable's service life was tested in our laboratory. The cable was installed in an energy chain with a radius of 100mm and a strain relief on both ends of the e-chain. Continuous movement simulated the stress in the machine so that an exact evaluation can be given for use in the real world.
