Custom Ethernet Cable Assembly for Network Infrastructure
As a specialized Ethernet cable assembly manufacturer, OurPCB delivers custom network cables from Cat5e through Cat8 for data center, commercial, and industrial applications. Our cable assembly expertise covers standard RJ45 terminations, industrial M12 Ethernet, shielded cables, and PoE-capable assemblies for demanding networking environments.
Ethernet cable categories serve different performance requirements. Cat5e supports 1 Gbps for legacy applications. Cat6 handles 10 Gbps over shorter distances and is standard for commercial buildings. Cat6a provides 10 Gbps with better shielding for longer runs. Cat8 delivers 25/40 Gbps speeds for data center switch-to-switch connections. Our data cable and shielded cable capabilities ensure signal integrity at all performance levels.
Industrial Ethernet applications require rugged construction for factory environments. M12 connectors provide IP67-rated connectivity for industrial automation, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP networks. Combined with our waterproof cable expertise, we deliver Ethernet solutions for outdoor and harsh environment installations.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables single-cable power and data for IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. PoE++ (Type 4) applications require proper wire gauge and termination for 90W power delivery. Our network cables support telecommunications infrastructure, security systems, and commercial building networks.
Every Ethernet assembly receives 100% certification testing for proper termination and performance. Combined with fiber optic cables for backbone connections and comprehensive testing, we deliver complete structured cabling solutions. Contact us for custom Ethernet cable assembly quotes.
From the Case Bank
A German industrial electrical systems integrator required cable harnesses for a high-volume annual program but faced sourcing constraints on specified connectors.
The originally specified STOCKO connectors faced procurement limitations, and the required PTC components (EPCOS B59100A1080-A40) had a long 12-14 week lead time, threatening the overall project timeline for a 200kpcs/year program.
Proposed Lumberg connectors as a qualified alternative to STOCKO. Provided detailed specification comparisons and emphasized Lumberg's shorter MOQ and better delivery times to offset the PTC lead time bottleneck, while remaining transparent about the slightly higher price point of the alternative.
The customer accepted the alternative for evaluation, agreeing to sample the Lumberg-based assemblies, which kept the high-volume annual program viable despite initial component sourcing bottlenecks.
- 100kpcs/year per product (200kpcs total annual volume)
- PTC model: EPCOS B59100A1080-A40
- PTC lead time: 12-14 weeks
- Connectors evaluated: STOCKO vs. Lumberg
Ethernet FAQ
We manufacture Ethernet cables from Cat5e through Cat8. Cat6 and Cat6a are most common for commercial applications, while Cat8 is used in data centers for 25/40 Gbps connections.
Yes, we manufacture industrial Ethernet cables with M12 connectors, rugged RJ45, and IP-rated assemblies. These are designed for factory automation, outdoor, and harsh environment applications.
Yes, all Cat5e and above cables support PoE. For PoE++ (Type 4) applications delivering up to 90W, we use appropriate gauge wire and ensure proper termination for power handling.
