Weidmuller Cables & Connectors
Weidmuller cables & connectors are famous for the excellent quality and high reliability they bring to the job of linking electrical and electronic systems in a wide array of industries. A key part of the Weidmuller success story focuses on the large and still growing variety of superior cables they offer, designed for transmitting data, signals, and power in increasingly demanding applications. The company has notched up continuous successes in providing these products to its customer base where high performance and other essential cable attributes make a crucial difference.
Weidmuller's line of connectors is the perfect addition to their already impressive cable range. Together, these two product lines provide customers with a secure and efficient connection solution. The connectors come in many different formations. Terminal blocks, plug-in connectors, and industrial Ethernet connectors can all be found in the Weidmuller product offering. This variety, coupled with user-friendly features that Weidmuller engineers into their products, makes these connectors ideal for use in industrial automation, energy, transportation, and telecommunication applications.
More Information about Weidmuller Cable and Connectors
In an increasingly digital environment, the reliable transmission of power, signals and data requires the rapid availability of standardized cabling solutions and the development of individual special cables. Weimuller offers an extensive range of prefabricated cables, with SNAP IN and PLUG IN connection technology, and includes signal cables for sensors or data cables for Ethernet.
Pre-assembled cable battery storage systems are playing an increasingly important role in the field of renewable energies. They usually consist of several individual batteries that need to be quick and easy to replace. The Weidmüller Battery Connector (WBC) makes it possible to connect several individual batteries to an ESS in just a few easy connections.

Industrial Wire Types: Part 2
Twisted Pair Wire
Twisted pair wire is most commonly seen in scenarios where data is being transfer to and from certain locations. It uses two separate conductors, twisted together, for a single circuit. The two conductors are twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference or “cross talk” between the two wires. It is common to use twisted pairs in place of a coax cable for data transfer. Coax can be fairly expensive and can be more difficult to run whereas twisted wire is not as thick or rigid and can easily be maneuvered in tough to reach locations. Twisted wire will always come in pairs, but there are no limits to how many pairs can be included in a single cable. For instance, CAT5 or CAT6 cable, which is commonly used in home and office networks, uses twisted pair wire. This type of cable has four different pairs of communication lines.
Shielded Wire
Shielded wire is different from regular wire insulation in that it is made of a conductive material. This conductive material includes, braided strands of copper (or other types of metal), non-braided aluminum and copper tape. The purpose of this shielding is to protect the signal passing through the wire from any outside interference. Unlike twisted cable, which is trying to eliminate interference among wire being used in the same circuit, shielded wire needs protection from outside interference and from other electrical circuits in the area.
Tray Cable
Tray Cable is a factory assembly of two or more insulated conductors, with or without associated bare or covered grounding conductors under a nonmetallic sheath, for installation in cable trays, in raceways, or where supported by a messenger wire. It is common to see tray cable that has many different conductors that can be used for control wiring, instrumentation and signal wiring as well as many other applications. Tray cable is often rated for use in direct sunlight applications, as well as direct burial applications. Because of the potential weight of tray cable when suspended, it will need to be supported properly to avoid hazardous environments.
