Data Cable Solutions for Flourishing Smart Factories

Aug. 28, 2018
Ethernet cables are the backbone of the smart factory. Here’s what you should look for when selecting cables that can handle harsh environments and support high data rates.
Automation is continuing to increase on the factory floor and the need for more data is placing new demands on Ethernet cables.
