Product Description:

The 8BCM0015.1034C-0 is a combined power-and-feedback cable produced by B & R Automation as part of the 8BC ACOPOS Cables series. It is supplied with factory-terminated connectors so that ACOPOS servo drives can be linked quickly to motors or distributed I/O without on-site crimping. By integrating energy conductors and twisted signal pairs inside one flexible jacket, the cable streamlines routing through cable chains and helps maintain reliable motion control in automated packaging, printing, and material-handling equipment.

Its electrical layout uses a cable cross section of 4x 0.75 mm² + 2x 2x 0.34 mm², which provides four power conductors at 0.75 mm² and two double-twisted signal pairs at 0.34 mm² for encoder and brake channels. The assembly is terminated with an 8-pin female series 915 power connector that matches the 8-contact drive interface, and the mating end is molded for strain relief. Across its 10.1 mm ±0.3 mm outer diameter, the PUR jacket resists oils and weld spatter while keeping the cable flexible for routing. Cable length is fixed at 15 m, which simplifies bill-of-materials planning for medium-reach axes. When used with gland plates or hybrid connectors, the molded backshell provides IP66/67 protection against dust and high-pressure water jets.

Dynamic motion axes subject the cable to continuous bending, and the construction is rated for 5,000,000 drag-chain flex cycles. Copper size and strand count limit resistive losses to 26.7 Ω/km on the power cores and 56 Ω/km on the signal pairs, so voltage drop stays within servo drive tolerances. Dielectric quality yields a minimum insulation resistance of 500 MΩ·km and allows wire-to-shield and wire-to-wire isolation tests at 4 kV without breakdown. Even with the braided shield and PUR sheath, the total moving mass is only 1.34 kg, which helps reduce carrier load.
