Communication Wire

Communication Wire

A communication cable is an electrical cable used to send information signals and is most commonly found as coaxial, fiber optic, data & ethernet, and twisted wire pairs. Fiber optic cable, twisted pair cable, and coaxial cable are the three main types of network cables used in communication systems. Communications cable is essentially a cable used to transmit information by use of currents of various frequencies. Communication cable is different from power cables in that power cables are designed for high voltages and high currents; communication cables are designed for low voltage and low currents.

Developed by Modicon, Modbus provides a master/slave communication between intelligent automation devices. Based on Belden 9841, the Modbus cable has an increased jacket thickness to ensure a correct termination into the Modbus connectors. Modbus is a serial communication protocol developed by Modicon published by Modicon® in 1979 for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs). In simple terms, it is a method used for transmitting information over serial lines between electronic devices.
