Product Description:

The 8BCM0009.3034C-0 belongs to the 8BC ACOPOS Cables series manufactured by B&R Automation. It is a hybrid power-and-signal cable intended to link ACOPOS drive systems with compatible devices so that electrical energy and control data travel through a single routed assembly. By combining multiple conductor sizes inside one jacket, the product simplifies wiring inside automation cabinets and along moving machine axes while maintaining reliable protection in industrial environments. This arrangement also reduces the number of separate cable runs and helps keep routing more orderly where space around drives and connected equipment is limited.

The cable has a length of 9 m, allowing placement of drives and motors several panels apart. Its interface is an 8-pin female power connector, which mates directly with the corresponding ACOPOS receptacle. Internally, four power conductors and two twisted signal pairs use a composite layout of 4×0.75 mm² + 2×2×0.34 mm², so power and feedback share one sheath without excessive interference. When the coupling nut is tightened, the connected assembly is sealed to IP66/67 (Connected), which blocks dust ingress and resists high-pressure water jets. For fixed mounting, the allowable line load is 9.8 A, which sets the upper limit for connected drive current while keeping conductor temperature within the intended range.

Each power core has a cross section of 0.75 mm², which helps limit voltage drop over the installed length, while the signal pairs use 0.34 mm² conductors to support differential encoder transmission. A wire-to-wire dielectric withstand of 4 kV supports insulation integrity during transient overvoltage conditions, and the individual wires use PP insulation to maintain flexibility at typical machine temperatures. The orange PVC jacket improves visual tracing during installation and routing, especially in dense cable bundles or moving assemblies. Despite these protective features, the cable weighs only 1.8 kg, which helps reduce mechanical load on strain relief points and supports smoother movement in dynamic applications.
