To meet the increasing use of the CANbus system on commercial vehicles and industrial applications, Sensor-Technik UK launched the first cable in the world to meet the international standard SAE J1939/15.

Previously, most engineers working with CANbus systems have specified cable which although adequate, probably did not fully meet the recommendation and standards set by the international test and approval bodies. Sensor-Technik UK’s new bespoke cable conforms to SAE1939/15 however. It is a unshielded twisted pair of 2 x 18AWG wires in the colours yellow and green, twisted lay length of less than 33 mm, each core 2.7mm OD 16 x0.253 Copper.

The cabling is available simply as a pair of twisted wires, but Sensor-Technik UK can have cables made up to customer requirements to include 3 wire and/or power supply wires, for example. Complete specifications and free samples are now available.

Morten Moller of Sensor-Technik UK says: We believe this is the world’s first dedicated CANbus cabling, and we’re really pleased to be able to offer it, not least because it shows our commitment to CANbus technology. It really does make a difference. Contact us today for information.
