Data cables (also: copper data cables, Ethernet cables) and computer cables are designed to transmit information and signals in different applications. They connect devices that use the same transmission technology and allow them to communicate. The data is transmitted as electrical signals. Cables that transmit optical signals are referred to as fibre-optic cables.

Data and computer cables are used, for example, in telecommunications, building automation technology, in mechanical and plant engineering, and in industrial automation. Due to the ever-advancing technology of digitalisation and networking in nearly all areas of life, the need for faster, safer, and more reliable data transmission is also rising.

What is a data cable?

Data cables are multi-core cables that enable the transmission of information from sender to receiver. They usually have screening which allows for the safe and undisturbed transmission of data. The cores usually have a very small cross section and are colour-coded for easier differentiation. Data cables with different sheath materials and varying specifications are available, which cover a wide spectrum of applications. Underground data cables are especially suited for installation below ground and ensure reliable operation through their resilient construction.

Data cables, such as the TRONIC (LiYY) are multi-core cables that transmit data from sender to receiver.

What is a computer cable?

Computer cables are used in data processing, as well as in industrial measurement, control, and regulating technology. They are usually intended for permanent installation. There are different types suitable for use in dry or dam spaces, outdoors, or underground. This is possible thanks to an especially robust outer sheath and screening which prevents EMC disruptions.

What kinds of data and computer cables are there?

Whether installed permanently, underground, or in a dynamic application, whether in low or high-frequency areas, the reliable transmission of information is a core component of many applications featuring a wide variety of conditions. To ensure that data and signals arrive safely and without interference where they are needed, it is important to use the exact cables and wires needed for each individual application.

This is why HELUKABEL offers a comprehensive portfolio of data and computer cables. Customers are able to choose between different designs with various core counts, cross sections, and many other variations:

In addition to an extensive selection of proven, high-quality standard solutions, HELUKABEL also manufactures custom data and computer cables according to the user's needs. This is how we reliably and efficiently support our customers in realising complex and extraordinary projects.
