Product Description:

The 5CASDL.0400-13 cable is manufactured by B&R Automation as part of the 5CA HMI Cables series. It is an assembly that links an industrial HMI panel to a remote controller, carrying video and auxiliary control signals through a single routed line. By packaging digital video pairs together with low-level control conductors, the product simplifies panel installation and preserves signal integrity in automated machinery. Using one routed assembly instead of separate video and control leads helps keep panel wiring organized in space-limited machine enclosures.

Its shielding consists of Aluminum-clad foil and tinned copper braiding, a layered design that lowers electromagnetic interference on high-speed video pairs. The interface at each end uses a 2x DVI-D (24+1), male connector arrangement, so two digital video channels can plug directly into B&R HMI units without adapters. Separate control cores are sized at 24 AWG, while the differential data pairs use 26 AWG; this difference balances current capacity with impedance requirements. The assembly is rated for an operating potential of ≤30 V, making it suitable for low-voltage SELV circuits inside machinery cabinets. A maximum screw-lock torque of 0.5 Nm secures the connector backshell without damaging its threads, and the insulation between conductors withstands 1 kV during routine wire-to-wire tests. Contact plating supports at least 200 mating cycles before wear affects continuity.

For dynamic routing through a drag chain, the cable maintains a minimum bend radius of 180 mm and travels around a hub of 460 mm at up to 4,800 cycles per hour without exceeding mechanical limits. The conductor insulation and jacket survive up to 300,000 flex cycles, verified under continuous chain motion. Dielectric material gives an insulation resistance of >200 MΩ/km, reducing leakage on long runs, while the outer sheath is molded from special semi-matte TMPU to resist oils and abrasion in automated cells. That jacket material also helps the cable move smoothly through carriers where repeated flexing would wear a less durable surface.
