Cabinet links must be predictable: correct category, shielding that behaves near drives, and jackets that meet EU fire rules. This page focuses on assemblies and link components that crews standardize for switches, HMIs, access points, and cabinet‑to‑cabinet runs in mixed IT/OT spaces.
Copper twisted pair — Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A, 100 Ω, solid conductors for permanent links and stranded for flexible patching/door loops. Shielding options from U/UTP in quiet rooms up to F/UTP and S/FTP where VFDs or relays sit nearby. Jackets in PVC for clean interiors or LSZH for public routes. Factory‑terminated cords arrive length‑specific to keep trays tidy; field‑term links use keystones that match EU box geometry.
Fiber complements — OM3/OM4 multimode for short‑to‑mid spans and OS2 single‑mode for risers/campus ducts where EMI or distance defeats copper. Use radius guides and protected raceways.
Patch hardware — RJ45 plugs/jacks to IEC 60603‑7 families, angled modules for shallow boxes, and 19″ patch fields with rear bars and bonding points for tidy service loops.
Use channel certification (NEXT, RL, ACR‑F) in the handover pack; it ties performance to cabinet bonding and entry layout used on site.
All parts align with EU Ø68 mm boxes (60 mm screw spacing), Rutenbeck frames/faceplates, and common enclosure geometries, so tooling and labeling stay consistent.
Route cables through matched gland/adapter plates, then intercept mechanical load on clamp rails just inside the entry. Keep ELV/data segregated from mains in trunking; reserve side spaces for fiber radius guides. Document U‑positions and port IDs next to the patch field for quick fault‑finding.
In specifications, use rutenbeck network wiring to denote the full stack—entries, clamps, duct, and labeling—so crews follow one repeatable playbook across sites.
Procurement often standardizes one Cat6A link line, one stranded patch family, and LSZH fiber (OM4/OS2) for backbones—spares and training stay simple.
Your commercial terms mirror the BOM: individual B2B pricing and formal offers, a dedicated account manager, and live EU‑wide stock visibility. Quotes typically arrive in about an hour. Orders go in by EAN/MPN with clean traceability, and price lists are downloadable and current. You get lead‑time and order‑status tracking, purchase‑history analytics for SKU consolidation, and post‑payment up to 30 days for trusted clients. We also plan consolidated shipments to lower freight costs, keep pricing stable with validity dates, and support teams in France, the Baltics, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
