Electronic and data cables: Reaching your destination without losses
In the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), data is collected and exchanged in real time. Electrical and data cables are therefore crucial for the infrastructure of industrial automation.
Communication is everything in Industry 4.0. In the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), intelligent components combine to form a comprehensive system in which data is recorded, analyzed and exchanged in real time. The result is processes such as automated production control, predictive maintenance for machines and systems or quality monitoring of production. The functional requirements for this are high. The data-driven processes require a high bandwidth and short delay times to ensure real-time transmission of the large volumes of data. Radio technologies alone do not offer sufficient reliability and performance to meet these requirements. Specialized electrical and data cables are therefore crucial for the infrastructure of industrial automation in the digital factory.
Relying on the right cable solutions here means relying on the right partner in terms of portfolio and consulting and solution expertise. TKD Kabel offers a comprehensive range of solutions and cables with which the provider supports its customers with tailor-made concepts for the various process requirements of industrial automation. As part of the American Infinite Electronics family, the company based in Nettetal in western Germany operates within the Industrial Cable Connectivity business unit. As part of Infinite Electronics, the company has access to an extensive network of resources and expertise, which is reflected in the quality and variety of its products.

Which characteristics are decisive
For the high performance requirements in industrial automation, electronic and data cables are characterized by three main properties.
- High performance for stable transmission
Control signals, sensor data and energy must reach the machines, systems and robots without interference or errors. This requires high performance from the cables. This is achieved primarily through the size of the cable cross-section, the choice of conductor material, the insulation material and the type of core stranding. TKD Kabel offers shielded cables especially for the transmission of data, which ensure fast and interference-free transmission.
- Robust construction for high reliability
In industrial applications, cables are exposed to high mechanical stresses. Added to this are vibrations, friction, high temperatures and chemical influences. With the right insulation, stranding, sheathing and the appropriate extrusion process, cables become durable cable solutions. In this area, TKD Kabel relies on cables with PVC or PUR sheathing. The latter enable a high degree of flexibility and can even withstand torsion in the long term. They are primarily used in robotics applications.
- Cost-effectiveness thanks to durability
Reliable cable solutions increase productivity and efficiency in automated production. Their longer service life minimizes downtime and maintenance costs. In addition, their use helps to reduce the consumption of copper and other resources. Cable solutions are therefore a decisive factor for economic efficiency in industrial automation. Cables from TKD Kabel are manufactured to a high standard, which ensures their durability and reliability. The manufacturer produces in accordance with a wide range of certifications, including IMQ, IMQ HAR, VDE, TÜV and UL/CSA, as well as RoHS and REACH.
Harnessing the benefits of automation
Whether flexible or fixed, indoor or outdoor, long or short range: if the electronic and data cables are precisely matched to the respective application and environment, they can make the benefits of IIoT available to users as the infrastructure of an automation system. TKD Kabel therefore offers application-specific advice in addition to an extensive portfolio of standard products. Companies have access to the technical expertise of one of the world's largest suppliers of cables, wires, ready-to-connect cable systems and cable accessories as well as comprehensive industry and application know-how. On request, the TKD experts advise customers on the application, product properties or choice of materials. If required, the manufacturer can also develop customized special cables.
