CAN Bus Cable according to ISO 11898-2 for Industrial Applications

CAN bus cables for Controller Area Networks (CAN) provide reliable data transmission in machinery, industrial automation systems, vehicles and other industrial applications. They are standardized for a wide range of communication tasks. The most widely used high-speed version complies with ISO 11898-2 and is optimized for efficient digital communication at the controller level. The characteristic impedance is 120 Ω (95–140 Ω).

The overview below presents a selection of CAN bus cables for various industrial applications. Depending on the installation requirements, SAB Bröckskes offers CAN bus cables for drag chain systems as well as halogen-free, flame-retardant and reeling applications. Detailed technical specifications are available on the respective product pages.
 

What should you consider when selecting a CAN bus cable?

The performance of a CAN system depends not only on the communication protocol but also on the cable used. A CAN bus cable with the correct 120 Ω characteristic impedance according to ISO 11898-2 ensures reliable and interference-free data transmission. Depending on the application, factors such as shielding, flexibility, temperature resistance and suitability for continuous movement or reeling applications should also be considered.
