Northwire Inc. opened a European office

in the Netherlands, meeting what it calls a largely unmet need for made-to-order cable among European customers.

Northwire offers rugged made-to-order fieldbus cables for industrial networks under the DataCell Field brand, developed for the needs of European customers. That line includes Profibus PA (for process applications), Profibus DP (for discrete applications), Fieldbus Foundation H1, and AS-interface cables.

Northwire also offers Retractile Cords, DataCell GEV-1000 Gigabit Ethernet Cable for machine vision and other industrial applications, and DataCell MVC-800 FireWire B Machine Vision Cable in standard and extended-distance lengths.
