UNITRONIC® BUS ASI FD (TPE) backbone cable 2x1.5 YE, TPE 2170830

Universal cable for automation and data transmission

The UNITRONIC® BUS ASI FD (TPE) A 2X1,5 YE cable is a reliable solution for communication at the sensor and actuator level. Its construction, based on flexible, thin copper conductors, enables continuous bending in moving machine parts and chain guides — making it ideal for applications requiring high resistance to mechanical fatigue. This makes it an excellent choice for both automation installers and end users seeking a durable and dependable connection.

Flexibility and broad applicability

This cable is suitable for universal machine interfaces, enabling data and signal transmission across a wide range of applications. It is perfectly suited for wiring sensors and actuators, offering versatility depending on the selected sheath material. The cable allows simultaneous transmission of power and data via an unshielded, geometrically coded two-wire flat line — ensuring protection against polarity errors.

Construction and key features

The UNITRONIC® BUS ASI FD (TPE) A 2X1,5 YE cable features a yellow sheath (RAL 1023) made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The conductors are made of tinned stranded copper, ensuring excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The profiled outer sheath enhances the cable’s mechanical durability. Note that this cable does not have UV resistance. It complies with EN 50295 (European) and IEC 62026-2 (international) standards for ASI systems. The TPE version holds UL AWM Style 2103 and CSA AWM II A/B certification.
