AS-I (Actuator-Sensor-Interface) is a special system cable. With AS-I, the cable assembly from the control system is not needed. AS-I cables are used in network systems for the lowest field level of automation and communication technology. This flat cable consists of two cores which transmit both data and power. The contact is made by special technology by piercing through the outer jacket and core insulation with AS-I modules. A specially designed grooved jacket ensures installations and connection errors are minimized. The jacket provides resistance to oils, grease and refrigeration lubricants. AS-I versions in TPE and PUR are suitable for wet surroundings in machinery, plant construction, machine tools and automotive industry.
