Connector Type: (Specific connector type based on application, e.g., DB9, RJ45, or proprietary)
Cable Type: Shielded twisted pair (STP)
Shielding: Foil + braid (95% coverage)
Conductor Material: Tinned copper
Insulation Material: Polyethylene (PE) or PVC
Jacket Material: PVC, oil-resistant, flame-retardant
Temperature Rating: -20°C to +80°C
Flex Life: High-flex design for continuous motion applications
Compatibility: Rockwell Automation ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PowerFlex drives, PanelView HMIs

The TC-205-02-8M5 features a double-shielded design (foil and braid) that provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), making it suitable for installations near variable frequency drives and welding equipment. The high-flex jacket and conductors allow continuous flexing in cable track applications without signal degradation.
This cable is used for serial communication (RS-232/485), Ethernet connections, and proprietary Rockwell Automation networks. It is ideal for connecting controllers to HMIs, drives to PLCs, and programming terminals to CPUs in industrial panels and machinery. The 8.5-meter length provides flexibility for routing within control cabinets and between equipment.
The cable meets RoHS and REACH environmental standards and is UL recognized. It is suitable for use in NFPA 79 compliant industrial machinery and is rated for continuous use in demanding environments.
