HELUKABEL: Enhanced AS-Interface Product Portfolio Features Round Cable Design

HELUKABEL: Enhanced AS-Interface Product Portfolio Features Round Cable Design

HELUKABEL has enhanced its AS-Interface (ASi) bus cable offering by adding a round cable design suitable for use in drag chain applications. Traditionally, ASi bus cables are flat and deliver both power and transmit signals in applications such as building automation, process automation, factory automation, and transportation. However, when drag chain-rated ASi bus cable is used, the traditional flat profile requires the cable to be separated from other round cables. This makes installation time longer and drives up costs.
