Product Description:

The 8BCM0014.1034C-0 is a hybrid servo cable produced by B & R Automation for the 8BC ACOPOS Cables series. It connects ACOPOS drives to field devices, carrying motor power and differential feedback signals through one routed assembly in automated cells. By combining these functions inside a polyurethane sheath, the cable reduces panel wiring time and supports moving-axis installations that need sealed, quick-change terminations.

The conductor set follows a cross-section of 4x 0.75 mm² + 2x 2x 0.34 mm², so four power cores and two twisted signal pairs are bundled under one jacket. A molded 8-pin female Series 915 connector with 8 contacts terminates the drive side, providing keyed coupling and strain relief. Each power core uses tinned copper strands sized at 0.75 mm² to limit voltage drop over typical machine lengths, and the four power lines are insulated with polypropylene. The assembly withstands washdown sprays because of its IP66/67 ingress rating, and dielectric spacing supports a test voltage of 4 kV wire to wire. Signal pairs use 0.34 mm² conductors to transmit encoder or sensor data while keeping capacitance low for high-speed differential protocols.

The outer sheath is molded from abrasion-resistant PUR, providing oil and chemical resistance for gantry or conveyor routing. Inside, the power conductors use tinned copper stranded wire, so the cable remains flexible during continuous motion cycles. Both power and signal cores share polypropylene insulation, and this PP layer provides consistent dielectric strength across the full temperature range. Crosstalk is minimized because the signal pairs are individually shielded in pairs, and the design allocates four signal lines to support incremental and commutation channels at the same time.
