Continuous-Flex Low-Smoke Halogen-Free CAT 6A Railway Ethernet Cable

This continuously flexible CAT 6A railway Ethernet cable is developed for repeated bending in moving train equipment and protected exterior installations. Four twisted pairs, a flexible halogen-free insulation system and combined foil-and-braid screening support high-performance transmission, electromagnetic compatibility and reliable service under demanding environmental conditions.

Key Highlights

Continuous-flex CAT 6A cable · Railway-oriented construction · Four twisted pairs · Low-smoke halogen-free materials · Foil-and-braid screening · Good EMC characteristics · Oil and fuel resistance · Outdoor installation capability · Ozone, UV and weather resistance · −40°C to +90°C flexible range · 15 × diameter continuous-flex radius · Suitable for EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP · Optional M12 or RJ45 assemblies · PFAS-free material option

Designed for continuous-flex CAT 6A data connections in rail vehicles and transportation systems.

Typical applications include:

  • Moving railway door systems
  • Flexible connections inside passenger vehicles
  • Protected routing near bogies
  • Onboard communication networks
  • Passenger information and entertainment systems
  • Surveillance and monitoring equipment
  • Electronic ticketing systems
  • EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP networks
  • Equipment exposed to oil, fuel, ultraviolet radiation or weather

The cable is appropriate for continuous bending under light and medium mechanical stress. Torsional use requires a separately tested cable construction.

Pre-assembled M12 and RJ45 versions can be manufactured on request.

Common Questions

BEFORE YOU ORDER

For stocked configurations listed in the ordering table, MOQ is 100 metres per specification. Custom configurations — non-standard core counts, jacket colours, or special compounds — carry a 500 metre MOQ. Samples of 5–10 metres are available free of charge for qualification testing.

Use shielded (P or PP suffix) whenever the cable runs alongside servo drives, VFDs, or inverters, or when carrying encoder, sensor, or analogue signals. Unshielded is suitable for pure power distribution and simple on/off control lines. If in doubt, our engineering team can review your cabinet layout and advise — this is included with any quotation.

Yes. Send us the existing part number or a sample and we will produce a cross-reference specification with matching electrical, mechanical, and dimensional characteristics. Most cross-references are turned around within 3 working days, with a physical sample following within 7 days.

Standard shipments include the CE Declaration of Conformity, RoHS and REACH statements, and the batch test report. UL Recognition (UL 2464 / UL 20549) is available on request for North American projects — specify this at the quotation stage as it affects the material specification.

Standard configurations ship in 15 working days from order confirmation. Custom-engineered specifications typically require 20–25 working days, depending on compound availability. Rapid sampling for new specifications is 7 days. We will confirm the exact date in writing with your order acknowledgement.
