Network communication: Cables, patches, and connectors must be compatible

TKD Kabel offers ready-to-connect, harmoniously coordinated cabling solutions from a single source for network equipment. In addition to data cables, its portfolio also includes matching accessories ranging from patch cables to connectors. The INDULINK PATCH and INDULINK DATACON product ranges are part of the new INDULINK non-cable brand launched by TKD in fall 2024.

The transmission quality of networks is not determined solely by high-quality, high-performance data lines. Properly matched components such as patch cables and connectors ensure that there is no loss of performance or signal interference. TKD Kabel supplies such network solutions from a single source. Two portfolios of its INDULINK non-cable brand offer high-quality accessories for network equipment.

INDULINK PATCH for patch cables

The INDULINK PATCH product family includes pre-assembled, shielded patch cables for industrial and office applications. With the categories Cat.5e, Cat.6, Cat.6a, and Cat.8.1, the products cover a wide range of applications with transmission rates from 1 Gbit/s to 40 Gbit/s. In addition to the classic short cable lengths of 0.5 m, TKD patch cables are also available in extra-long versions of up to 90 m. Users can choose from up to ten different colors for clear identification of the installed cables. Various RJ45 connector variants are also available.

With three product lines, TKD Kabel meets the specific requirements of office and industrial installations. INDULINK PATCH OFFICE patch cables are designed for indoor use. They are halogen-free and produce only minimal smoke in the event of a fire. INDULINK PATCH INDUSTRY comprises cables whose materials and assembly are designed for reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions and in flexible to highly flexible applications. With INDULINK SPIRAL INDUSTRY, TKD offers a standalone portfolio of spiral cables for length-adjustable applications.

INDULINK DATACON for data connectors

In its INDULINK DATACON product range, TKD supplies cable-matched, field-assembled data connectors for data and bus cables. Quick-connect or screw connections allow them to be installed quickly and easily on site without special tools. Integrated insulation displacement connectors ensure wide tolerances and make the connectors versatile.

The components have been specially developed for industrial applications and are compatible with the rigid, flexible, and highly flexible cables typically used in this sector. They can be used for all common industrial networks. This includes Industrial Ethernet (for RJ45 and M12 connections), Profinet, Profibus, and CANbus. INDULINK DATACON is divided into five product lines that cover these industrial networks.
