What's special with Chainflex ® bus cables? 

Rainer Rössel: Chainflex ® bus cables are special, because we have designed 

consumer products for industrial use. This is not just giving the consumer product 

a new name. The complete cable concept was fitted to the requirements 

of the industrial everyday use. Due to the usage of robust materials and tuned 

stranding and shielding the cables are highly flexible and perfect for the permanently-moving 

industrial use in E-Chains ® as for all other industrial applications 

where chemical resistance is needed. 

How can I choose the best cable? 

Rainer Rössel: First you have to decide, which bus concept you want to use. 

For example if you choose USB, you can – depending on the delivery program 

for interfaces of your camera manufacturer – take an USB-copper cable or a 

fiber optic. By choosing a FOC, the utilised interface must have a connection 

for fiberoptic. 

How are the cables delivered? 

Rainer Rössel: There are two possibilities. You can order the cables without 

any cutting costs or minimum order quantity with the length that you need or 

we deliver it assembled with all connections according to your specifications. 

The connectors listed in this catalog only show a small number of the wide 

range of possible components. You can decide the plug-type and the connector 

(depending on availability and technical reasons). We start one-off and look 

forward to your request. 

Does the data transfer work with every system? 

Rainer Rössel: Normally yes. The high mechanical resistance is realized by the 

usage of high-quality materials, which can guarantee even electrical secureness. 

In single cases communication errors can occur, if very different hardware 

and software is combined. We recommend tests with all components before 

starting serial production, to get the proove for a perfect running system. Of 

course we support you with these tests. Just give me a call!

Test design: 

10 m CFBUS.055 FireWire (1394a) in an 

E-Chain ® Series B10.015.125: tested with 

more than 6 mio. strokes and a FireWire 

1394a camera. 

10 m CFBUS.066 (USB 2.0) in an E- 

Chain ® Series B10.015.100 tested with 

more than 3.5 mio. strokes and an USB 

2.0 camera. 

10 m CFLG.2HG.MF.50/125 in an E- 

Chain ® Series B10.015.075 tested with 

more that 3 mio. strokes with a FireWire 

1394b camera with fiberoptic connection. 

The igus ® laboratory in Cologne. More than 80 tests with E-Chains ® and Chainflex ® 

cables every day. 

With the development of resolution and sampling rates, data volumes increase inevitably. 

For this reason fast cable concepts were adopted which were already successful in consumer 

products with these data volumes. For example FireWire (1394a and 1394b), USB 

(2.0), and Gigabit Ethernet or even CameraLink. 

These cable concepts utilise special cables which are offered by several manufacturers for 

extremly low prices. 

If these low cost cables are used in the typical industrial apllication with chemical, electromagnetic 

and mechanical influences, blackouts cannot be prevented. 

After the experiences with Chainflex ® -cables in thousands of applications with bus concepts 

like Profibus, Interbus, DeviceNet etc. and costumers' requests for similar cables for 

high speed bus concepts, igus ® developed its own bus cable series. For example: 

● CFBUS.044 for GigE 

● CFBUS.055 for FireWire 1394a 

● CFBUS.065 and CFBUS.066 for USB 2.0 

● CFLG.2HG.MF. Fiber optic cable for bus concept-independent long travels 

The main aspect in developing was a mechanical solid cable, that can guarantee its capacitive, 

inductive and optical properties for a high number of strokes. 

All igus ® cables are testes in the igus ® laboratory. But for this task there were no test conditions. 

igus ® ' engineers choosed a very bottom-line way. 

Different industrial cameras were moved with 2 m/s speed, 5m/s² acceleration on a 600mm 

course. In the utilised E-Chains ® the bus cables were moved permanently. 

Even with the long cable length there was 

no loss in the image quality after these 

numbers of strokes. 

This test is not scientific but related to practice 

and it prooves clearly the industrial 

suitability of these high speed bus cables. 

The test has not been finished by now and 

will be continued.

Technical information: The USB, FireWire and GigE-cables shown on these pages were developed for the ambitious industrial usage in E- 

Chains ® . High proofness to oil and lubricants is as secured as protection against electromagnetical interferences. This high mechanical service 

life was reached with the usage of high quality materials which even care for the electrical safeness.In single cases communication errors can 

occur, if very different hardware and software is combined. We recommend tests with all components and the cables before starting serial production, 

to get the proove for a perfect running system. Of course we support you with the details of these electrical tests. Just give us a call!
