In today’s deployment of industrial automation, data centres and building-network infrastructure, the backbone of connectivity is the wiring system: Ethernet cables, Cat 5e/6, structured-connectivity cables and installation cabling. OMRON’s LAN & computer network cabling portfolio is engineered for these demanding environments — delivering reliable data transfer, robust installation performance and future-proof infrastructure readiness.

From a procurement and specifier perspective: critical parameters include cable category (Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A), connector types (RJ45, M12), shielding (FTP/STP, double-shielded), jacket material (LSZH, PUR), environment rating (panel-mount, IP67), and standards compliance (Ethernet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT). Choosing OMRON network wiring supports lower failure rates, simplified logistics and streamlined spares-planning

OMRON Ethernet Cables: Cat 5e / Cat 6 & Industrial Ethernet Wiring

The OMRON series XS5 / XS2 / XS6 are expressly built for industrial Ethernet networks (EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT) and also fully compatible with structured network cabling.
Key features include:

Cable standards: for example Cat 5e (100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) and Cat 6A (10GBASE-T) supported.
Connector options: RJ45 for general installation, and M12 (round, water-resistant, IP67) for harsh/enclosed environments.
Jacket options: LSZH for indoor, PUR or oil-resistant jackets for machinery/industrial use.
Procurement tip: Choose cable category aligned with required data rate (e.g., Cat 6A for future 10 Gb/s use), ensure correct connector type (RJ45 vs M12) depending on environment, and verify jacket material fits location (machine room vs office vs control panel).

OMRON Structured Connectivity & LAN Installation Cables

For structured building network wiring (office spaces, data zones, engineering rooms) OMRON’s LAN installation cables provide high-quality connectivity: shielded twisted pair, pre-terminated assemblies, and installation-grade cables.
Procurement tip: Lock into one family across the project — e.g., all RJ45 patch cables, all backbone Cat 6A cables from OMRON — to maintain spares compatibility and reduce variant bloat.

OMRON Specification Checklist for Procurement Teams

When you’re ordering OMRON LAN & network cabling, ensure you have specified:

Cable category & bandwidth: e.g., Cat 5e for standard gigabit, Cat 6A for 10 Gb/s or future proofing.
Connector type: RJ45 / M12 (if requiring IP67 or rugged environment).
Jacket / sheath material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for indoor uses, PUR or oil-resistant jackets for industrial zones.
Shielding & noise immunity: STP/FTP or double-shielded for electrically noisy environments.
Cable-environment match: panel-mount vs machine-room vs open-office vs data-centre floor.
Standard compliance & future-proofing: ensure the cables support the required protocols and data-rates (EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT).
Spare-part alignment: standardise part-numbers within one family across the project to simplify procurement and maintenance.
Missing any of these can lead to mismatched cables/connectors, installation delays, or increased failure risk in service.

OMRON Practical Application Scenarios & Cost Metrics

In an automation cell upgrade: specifying OMRON industrial Ethernet cables (e.g., XS6 series) with M12 ends for robot-to-controller links reduces signal dropouts and downtime.
In a building data-centre refurbishment: using OMRON Cat 6A LAN cables instead of Cat 6 gives future-growth margin (for 10 Gb/s) and avoids re-cabling within 5-7 years.
In a general-office fit-out: choosing OMRON LAN installation cables standard across all workstations reduces inventory of variants and simplifies future moves/adds/changes

Why Standardising on OMRON LAN & Computer Network Cables Matters

When you standardise your network wiring on one brand — OMRON — you gain real procurement and lifecycle benefits:

Fewer SKUs and a simpler spare-parts inventory.
Consistent cable performance and connector types across zones, reducing installer confusion and error rate.
Unified documentation and specification across the project (datasheets, termination guides).
Better procurement leverage via higher volume with fewer vendors.
For large installations (hundreds or thousands of network drops) this standardisation translates into fewer logistic headaches, fewer variant errors and lower lifecycle cost.
