Overview
The Woodhead EN22335F900-MLW ethernet cable is a 90-foot industrial-grade Cat5e assembly designed for harsh manufacturing and automation environments. Engineered by Woodhead Industries (a Molex division), this cable combines sealed RJ-Lnxx connectors with Max-Locks locking mechanisms to ensure vibration-resistant, secure connections that maintain signal integrity in motion control, PLC networking, and industrial automation systems.
Key Features
- Max-Locks Secure Connectors — Locking RJ-Lnxx connectors prevent accidental disconnection from vibration and handling.
- Gray PVC Jacket — Oil-resistant, abrasion-resistant outer covering for industrial floor and machine mounting.
- 90-Foot Length — Extended reach for panel-to-device or inter-cabinet runs without splicing.
- Cat5e Shielded Construction — Reduces EMI/RFI interference in electrically noisy plant environments.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability — Built to withstand temperature fluctuations and chemical exposure in factories and process control systems.
