Product Description:

The 5CASDL.0250-03 flexible video cable is produced by B & R Automation within the 5CA HMI Cables series. It forms the dedicated DVI interconnect between moving operator panels and stationary industrial PCs, carrying loss-free digital graphics while withstanding repetitive motion in production equipment. By supplying a purpose-built link for panel arm systems, this cable maintains clear visualization and user input in automated cells where constant articulation would quickly fatigue standard office cabling.

The mechanical profile centers on repetitive motion endurance. A duty cycle of 4800 cycles/hour matches rapid swiveling or sliding actions common to high-speed packaging lines. Overall service life is verified for 300,000 flex cycles, helping planners estimate maintenance intervals. Outside dimensions stay manageable with a maximum diameter of 12 mm, and tensile loading is limited to 50 N so strain-relief hardware can be sized correctly. Panel connectors are secured with screws that must not exceed 0.5 Nm, preventing thread damage on the graphics adapters. During dynamic routing, the conductor bundle may bend, but only down to a minimum radius equal to 15x cable diameter to avoid layer separation in the aluminum-clad foil and tinned copper braid shield that blocks electromagnetic noise.

Electrical criteria ensure stable video transmission along moving gantries. The assembly operates on display logic levels up to 30 V and keeps leakage low with a minimum insulation resistance of 200 MΩ/km. Differential pair design holds the wave impedance at 100 ±10 Ω so signal reflections remain minimal across long runs. Twin male DVI-D (24+1) plugs provide the interface, and each end is rated for at least 200 mating cycles to support periodic panel replacement. Dielectric integrity is confirmed with 0.5 kV wire-to-shield and 1 kV wire-to-wire test voltages, giving adequate margin against conducted noise in control cabinets.
