Food and beverage processing environments require industrial Ethernet cables with specific characteristics, including resistance to washdown chemicals, high-pressure cleaning, and moisture.
Key Requirements:
Hydrolysis resistance: Prevents degradation from moisture
Chemical resistance: Withstands cleaning agents
Microbe resistance: Prevents bacterial growth
Halogen-free: Reduces toxic smoke in fire
Smooth jacket: Resists bacterial adhesion
Products like ESCHA's PUR cables with hydrolysis-proof and microbes-resistant properties address these requirements, meeting UN ECE R 118 standards.
