BizLink's FieldLink® AS-Interface cables

FieldLink® AS-Interface cables

In the factory automation market, the AS-Interface system is used in various sectors and is developed as an alternative to conventional parallel wiring of sensors and actuators.

The yellow profile cable is AS-Interface’s trademark. Due to its profiled design, it is resistant to polarity reversal and can be connected to device interfaces easily and safely anywhere. The AS-Interface cable is an unshielded two-conductor flat cable. It transfers data and power to actuators and sensors.

BizLink offers a wide range of AS-Interface cables for various applications:

1. The new ASi rubber cable is BizLink´s economy version for AS-Interface applications. Its fully EPDM rubber design offers the advantages of AS-Interface in combination with a cost-efficient design.

The functionality includes simple installation and compatibility with AS-Interface special piercing technology, just like our conventional AS-Interface products. The characteristics are:

• Fully EPDM rubber design
• Halogen-free
• Cold bending resistant
• Sunlight resistant
• Available as 1,5 mm² and 2,5 mm² version

2. For digital communication, BizLink also offers AS-Interface cables, which guarantee easy, fast, and efficient installation in automation systems.
