WELCOME TO THE CAT® S42

The Cat S42 is a remarkable workhorse.

Whether you’re in the police force, or a first responder keeping us safe...

Or you work in a hospital and hygiene is your priority...

Or you’re a construction worker and you need a phone that’s tough enough to survive a building site, day after day...

The Cat S42 is robust and reliable.

It's not just tough on the outside, it's sleek and sophisticated on the inside too.

This latest addition to the Cat phones portfolio includes notable upgrades. Faster connectivity, a better camera, and more memory.

We designed the Cat S42 for dependability in extreme situations. With extended battery life, and a big bright screen you can read in full sunlight and that works with gloves on, and of course it’s drop-proof.

And you can scrub it with hot water and soap. Useful in these times of essential hygiene vigilance.

Giving the protection and reliability you can expect from our Cat rugged credentials.
