Belcom Cables are your source of excellence for industrial automation cables. We take precision, high-performance data and communication cables into the toughest environments. Our extensive stock of Fieldbus cables include the Dataguard series armoured outdoor cables and direct burial styles which have been adopted extensively throughout the water and waste-water treatment industry using Profibus DP and PA protocols. It is often the case that insufficient attention is given to the interconnecting cables in industrial data networks. We take this on board and ensure that our Fieldbus cables are the best available from stock in the UK. Whilst the core technology remains, the ever-growing applications determine new designs for outer sheath performance and with different requirements and standards required for different industrial sectors Belcom strives to ensure that the right cable for its applications is readily available from stock.
