The logical choice for high quality data transmission
The quality of data transmission cables in a factory floor automation system is of vital importance. During major refurbishing work or when building a new facility, the cable costs represent a relatively small part of the overall investment. However, if subsequently a cable problem occurs and you need to replace the cable whilst the facility needs to remain operational, then the costs can be enormous: think of the costs of factory down time, installers who require access, ripping up floors, walls and cabinets, etc. So in the long run, it pays to invest in the right cable solutions. A short network downtime alone can be more costly than any savings that can be made by buying cheap cables.
