Robotics cable recommendation - shielded twisted pair for RS-485

3 posts in this topic

Not a real robot application but you guys may have addressed the problem ... Application is very low cycle rate - one cycle every couple of minutes. RS-485 devices are on a lifting platform with cable chain. Min radius is about 75mm/3in. We're trying to eliminate some comms issues. The existing cabling is untwisted and unshielded Turck Eurofast M12 8-pin connectors. We want to try shielded twisted pair. I intend to ground each shield at one end only. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced 2-pair, shielded cable? Many thanks.
