Phoenix Contact LAN & computer network cables provide a complete suite of copper-based data wiring solutions tailored for industrial automation, machine building, building infrastructure and retrofit projects. From high-speed RJ45 patch cords to rugged industrial Ethernet assemblies (M12, M8, SPE), the range is designed to meet escalating data-rate requirements, harsh-environment installation standards, and seamless integration into automation networks.
Phoenix Contact Ethernet & RJ45 Patch Cables
The Phoenix Contact category includes pre-assembled RJ45 patch cables engineered for use in control cabinets, patch fields and standard network installations. Key attributes:
- Specified for Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and up to 10 Gbps capable with RJ45 terminations.
- Cable jackets: halogen-free, PUR or PVC, shielded or unshielded depending on environment.
- Lengths: from short patch cords (~0.3 m) through to longer runs (50 m) in various colours to aid identification.
- Industrial-rated patch cables can be used alongside power cables and in higher-density installation zones with compliance to jacket voltage rating (e.g., 600 V) and NFPA/UL requirements.
For wholesalers, these cables represent a fast-moving stock category, and colour/length variants offer upsell and bundling opportunities.
Phoenix Contact Industrial Ethernet & Network Leads
Beyond standard patch cords, Phoenix Contact offers rugged industrial Ethernet leads suited for automation and machine-level deployment. Capabilities include:
- M12-coded, X-coded, D-coded connectors for IP67/IP69K rated environments, vibration resistance and shielded signal transmission.
- Cables constructed for repeated flex (millions of cycles), temperature range –40 °C to +80 °C (or higher), PUR jacket for drag-chain and remote cabinet applications.
- Pre-assembled solutions reduce field wiring time, ensure consistent performance, and support bus systems like PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT.
This premium segment allows distributors to service higher-spec industrial projects with higher margins and specification credibility.
Phoenix Contact Network Cable Portfolio & Application Segmentation
The Phoenix Contact network cable offering can be structured for procurement and inventory management as follows:
- Standard RJ45 Patch Cords – Cat5e/Cat6, indoor cabinet or office environment use.
al Ethernet Assemblies – M12/M8, IP67/IP69K, heavy-duty jacket, machine/field environment rated. - Custom Lengths & Colour Variants – By-the-meter options, colour coded for identification, special jacket materials for specific environments.
This segmentation helps wholesalers and installers map cable stocks to application needs: office/data room → machine-panel level → rugged field deploy.
Wholesale Supply Advantages
Working with a busy distributor like Bank of Lamps for Phoenix Contact network cables offers multiple benefits:
- Access to authentic Phoenix Contact branded data-cable systems with industrial specification and traceability.
- Competitive wholesale pricing for volume, multi-length and multi-colour orders — ideal for panel-builders, machine OEMs, system integrators.
- Ability to cross-bundle: cables + connectors + network modules + panel wiring accessories.
- Positioning your catalogue to cover both standard networking use-cases and high-spec industrial automation wiring — giving both breadth and depth.
