SAB Bröckskes GmbH & Co. KG

Flexibility, efficiency and digitisation. This is industry 4.0 – the current subject of German manufacturing industry. Due to the complete linking and communication on all levels of the production process considerable amelioration with regard to productivity and flexibility may result.Today it is not quite clear how industry 4.0 in fully automated production will look like. Nevertheless, it is sure that a reliable transmission of increasing data volumes due to the steadily growing linking and communication of machine parts even under the most difficult conditions have to be ensured. As a consequence cables especially for machine construction, robotics or railway techniques are subject to extreme torsional stress and very high temperatures. These cables get in contact with different chemicals, oils or detergents. Also the subject of longevity with respect to industry 4.0 in industrial sectors are of basic importance.70 years after its foundation, SAB Bröckskes presents itself highly innovative as answer to the mega trends of digitisation and industry 4.0 . The company presents a range of new industrial Ethernet cables 6, 6A, 7 and 7A that are not only extremely robust but also ensure a quick and efficient data transmission.SAB is not only a cable manufacturer but also offers support in automation technique for example in the range of new communication systems for drive technology. Herewith, the individual requirements of the customer and the long-term experience of SAB as manufacturer of highly flexible cables are combined in new products . The quick and flexible production of sample lengths is no problem at all.The cable manufacturer focus on two Industrial Gigabit Ethernet cables that have been especially developed for the increasing data transfer in automation technique. Besides the world innovation CATLine CAT 7A RT, a CAT 7 A cable for robot application, SAB Bröckskes is also going to present a cable chain cable with UL/ CSA approval – the CATLine CAT 7 A S. Industrial Ethernet Cables and Wires Category 6A and 7A:CATLine CAT 7 A RT – for robot application Gigabit Ethernet cable with UL/ CSA The cable CATLine CT 7 A RT for robot application is suitable for rough industrial conditions in automation technique for example at high temperatures, pollution by oil and aggressive chemicals. CATLine CAT 7A S – for cable chain application Gigabit Ethernet cable with UL/ CSA The cable chain cable CATLine CAT 7A S is suitable for rough industrial conditions in cable chains for example at high temperatures, pollution by oil and aggressive chemicals. CATLine CAT 6A HT – temperature resistant The temperature resistant cable CATLine CAT 6A HT is suitable for rough industrial conditions at temperatures up to fixed: -90°C/+ 180°C flexible: -55°C/ + 180°C.CATLine CAT 7A DR reeling CAT 7A Gigabit Ethernet cableOur reeling CATLine CAT 7A cables have been developed for different applications whenever a considerable data volume must be transferred safely. They are for example used in stage technique of theaters, signal transmission and mobile trash rake cleaning or in high rack storage technique.CATLine CAT 7A R - Rail CAT 7ACATLine CAT 7A R acc. to DIN EN 45545-2, is especially appropriate for rail applications. The cable fulfills the requirements on no flame propagation of DIN EN 60332-3-25 + DIN EN 50305 section 9.1.1 + 9.1.2 and is flame retardant and self-extinguishing acc. to DIN EN 60332-1-2
New productions are already possible for small quantities – especially interesting for small and pilot productions. 
Cable manufacturer – SAB Bröckskes is a worldwide leading manufacturer of cables and wires, cable harnessing and temperature measuring technique. More than 60 years of experience in cable manufacturing as well as in temperature measuring technique have made out of a one man business a company with almost 500 staff members.

Bio compatible medical cables with UL approval and „non blooming“ effect
Cable specialist SAB Bröckskes puts on the market a broad range of new cable materials for medical devices. The bio compatible material series SABmed S contains besides the basic type with high abrasion and tear strength an ultra flexible and smooth cable, a cable with UL approval as well as a non blooming type.
There are highest demands on connection cables for medical devices especially for electro therapy/ surgery and dental technology if the cables are used between generator and applicator and thus are in contact with the patient.
Special characteristics of the cable range
Besides the flexibility and a perfect cleaning (by wiper disinfection or by autoclaving) characteristics as for example bio compatibility, reliability due to a long service life, low weight as well as a non sticking cable surface are often required. Moreover, for special applications the approval acc. to American standards is of greatest importance.
Herewith, the torsion shall be avoided if the cable is coiled up by hand.
The special cable manufacturer SAB Bröckskes GmbH & Co. KG from Viersen has succeeded to fulfil all requirements existing on the market that are presented with the material range SABmed S.
All types are bio compatible acc. to EN ISO 10993-5 and offer best characteristics with regard to notch resistance. Nearly every cable type in or at medical devices can be manufactured with this material compound. Also single cores, interfaces for bus systems (as for example CAT5 up to CAT7, RS232, USB, etc.), power cables or cables for hand-held equipment can be offered.
With the SABmed S material compound SAB has got also the possibility to design and manufacture connection cables for temperature sensors.
Another advantage offered by the manufacturer is to adapt the cable colour individually to the colour of the medical device . Thus cables with a homogenized optic can be manufactured - different colours of device and cable are consequently a thing of the past.
At present you can choose from four material profiles:
SABmed S Classic The typical basic material with high notch and tear propagation strength and high flexibility has proved itself in and at medical devices.
SABmed S Ultraflexible As the name implies the special characteristic of this material is the comfortable smoothness that offers highest mobility to the user.

SABmed S UL For the first time SAB succeeded to produce a compound of the SABIX R med material range with UL approval. This provides the opportunity to use UL approved cables for medical devices in the complete low volt range.
SABmed S Platin “Non blooming” implies that decomposition products do not appear on the cable sheath. This is already reduced to the minimum for all SABIX R med materials but for this special compound, however, the blooming effect is completely avoided.
