Product Description:

B&R Automation supplies the 8CCH0018.11110-1 hybrid cable as a member of the 8CC ACOPOSremote Hybrid Cables series. The assembly combines power, signal, and Ethernet lines in one routed bundle so a single trunk can link ACOPOSremote servo drives to a control cabinet. By carrying energy, feedback, and data over the same sheath, it reduces panel wiring and shortens installation time in distributed motion-control architectures. This combined layout also helps keep cable routing cleaner on machine sections where space is limited and multiple separate runs would be harder to manage.

The cable terminates with a 15-pin female TYCO connector and a mating plug, giving the required interface for drive modules; its total connector count is 2. A molded backshell and sealing elements allow the mated pair to meet an IP65 rating, keeping dust and water jets away from live conductors. The jacket is colored Orange for quick identification along machine frames, and the outer sheath is made of PUR, which resists oil, flexing, and weld spatter. Internally, all conductors are tinned copper stranded wire so the strands resist corrosion and remain pliable during continuous motion. Polyethylene insulation surrounds the data and signal pairs to maintain impedance and limit crosstalk, while the VZN Cat. 5 pair supports 100 Mbit/s Ethernet communication to the decentralized drive.

Five power cores, highlighted by the count of 5, supply the inverter’s DC link and auxiliary voltages through a cross-section of 2.5 mm², matching the current draw of mid-range servo axes. Four signal leads with 0.75 mm² conductors carry brake and enable circuits. An additional quartet of data wires with a reduced area of 0.34 mm² handles differential feedback and diagnostic traffic. Using different conductor sizes keeps the cable compact while supporting the separate electrical tasks within the same assembly.
