Several factors come into play when selecting a cable. From the core right up to insulation, each wire is made of a number of components and materials that enable its correct functioning. The wrong cable materials can seriously affect the correct functioning of the whole application and cause major damages, often with costly consequences.

SKINTOP® MULTI-M simplifies the routing of cables and conductors thanks to innovative gel technology.

The wire and cable industry enforces an extensive list of approvals and agency standards, including UL, CSA, IEC, and other National and International safety procedures and regulations. Unsure of the differences between requirements? Learn more about the different types of safety standards here.

The ROBUST series consists of cable and connector solutions for power, control and data transmission, as well as bus, sensor and Ethernet connections. Thanks to their chemical resistance, as well as being highly ozone, UV and weather resistant in compliance with EN 50396 and HD 605 S2 our ROBUST products are certified to be suitable for wet cleaning in the food and beverage industry.

The AF series Contactors from ABB utilise an electronic control coil which is unique and offers some key benefits for difficult applications. All Contactors rely on the voltage running through a coil to create a magnetic field, when the magnetic field is strong enough it will pull in the Contactor. However this is an analogue process and when the voltage is too low, and the magnetic field is not strong enough to hold the contactor closed, there is a bouncing or chatter effect. This can occur for example when a motor kicks in and there is a dip in the overall system voltage.
