RG-6 and RG-11 ControlNet cable
RG-6 type cables (the 3092A family) are the standard ControlNet cable. RG-11 type cables with a heavier conductor (3094A, 3095A) are used on long trunk lines.
High-flex, halogen-free and high-temperature types
Stranded 3092F for moving applications, 3092T where a halogen-free jacket is required, and 3093A, 3132A and 3095A for high-temperature and plenum spaces.
Armoured ControlNet cables
Aluminium and steel armoured types for runs exposed to crushing, rodents and mechanical impact.
Armoured versions of Belden ControlNet cables
Many of the cables on this page are also available with factory-applied armour. Armour protects the cable against crushing and impact and allows installation without conduit. Each armoured code is shown with its unarmoured base code. The list for all networks is on Belden Armored Data Cable.
| Armoured code | Armour type | Unarmoured base code |
|---|---|---|
| 123092A | Aluminium interlock (AIA) | 3092A |

Frequently asked questions about ControlNet cable
What is ControlNet cable?
ControlNet is a fast, deterministic industrial network for time-critical applications. Its cable is a 75 Ω quad-shield RG-6 type coaxial cable.
Can ordinary RG-6 antenna cable be used instead of ControlNet cable?
It is not recommended. ControlNet cable is made with a quad shield to the network specification and rated for industrial environments. Use ControlNet cable so the network works at its specified distance and speed.
What is the difference between RG-6 and RG-11 ControlNet cable?
RG-6 (18 AWG) is the standard cable. RG-11 (14 AWG) has a heavier conductor and is preferred on long trunk lines.
Which ControlNet cable is used on moving machinery?
High-flex 3092F with a stranded conductor.
Do I have to buy a full reel?
No. We supply cut lengths. The part number and the total length are enough.
