IEC62026-3 Cable

This standard was updated as of March 2015.

IEC 62026 3 Compliance

Under IEC 62026-3, BUS cables are designed to connect controller-device interfaces within the CAN (controller area network), and DeviceNet Thick cables fall under the boundaries of this standard incorporating both a power and a data pair for backbone wiring.
 
The cables compliant with IEC 62026-3 can also be cross-referenced with cables manufactured to IEC 61158, all falling under the banner of industrial Ethernet cables.

IEC 62026-3 applications

The CAN solutions were originally developed for deployment in the automotive market. It allows multiple master controllers to instruct multiple slave nodes without the oversight of a central master point. Information is transmitted across the network to allow for data consistency across all the individual nodes.

IEC 62026-3 Cable Construction

IEC 62026-3 cables are heavily shielded to protect against cross-talk and electrical or electromagnetic interference. They are shielded with Aluminium Polyester Tape (Al/PET) and either tinned copper wire braid (TCWB) or a galvanized steel wire braid (GSWB), making them robust as well as resistant to the electrical fields of other cables and applications nearby.
 
Eland Cables is a leading supplier of BUS cables, including DeviceNet and Fieldbus, manufactured according to International Electrotechnical Commission Standard IEC 62026-3, which covers the interface between automation and process control systems, switchgear systems, controlgear and controllers.
