Male CAN bus cables from ifm are ideal for mobile machines and made to withstand harsh environments. M12 cable plugs provide reliable, high-speed network communication while reducing electronic interference and long wiring lengths.

Female cord sets for CAN Bus are also available.

CAN bus (Controlled Area Network bus) are often used in industrial automation and automotive settings. They're now also common in the medical, agricultural, aerospace, marine, and building automation fields. The system became more widespread thanks to improved data throughput and voltage isolation, longer bus lengths, and more nodes.

CAN bus cables: FAQs

Learn more about CAN bus cables and their applications:

What color are CAN bus wires?

CAN bus wiring usually uses green and yellow wires. The green wire is the CAN-Low (low-speed) signal, and the yellow is the CAN-High (high-speed) signal. The wires are twisted together to limit errors, as both will be affected equally by any electromagnetic interference.

Does CAN bus need a separate ground?

While the CAN bus system does have a ground wire, it's designed to function without a separate ground. However, it's always advisable to consult with a specialist for specific setups.

How long can a CAN bus wire be?

CAN bus cables are customizable to lengths below 99 feet, depending on specific requirements. However, for standardized needs, they're available in fixed-length spools.
