Product Description:

The 8ECF0020.1221C-0 is a hybrid feedback and power cable from B&R Automation in the ACOPOS P3 Cables series. It combines encoder signals and low-voltage supply conductors in one sheath, which reduces wiring bulk between compatible servo drives and motors. The cable is intended for drag-chain motion in packaging, printing, and assembly equipment where repeated flexing is expected.

Inside the PUR jacket, four signal pairs and four supply conductors create a compact cable core. The supplied length of 20 m supports remote axis placement without splices, while the outer diameter of 6 mm ±0.2 mm helps conserve space in moving cable carriers. The design is rated for ≥3,000,000 flex cycles, which suits machines that run frequent reciprocating travel. It also supports drag-chain speeds of ≤4 m/s when acceleration remains at or below 60 m/s².

During operation, the cable remains flexible across a temperature range of -20 to +80 °C, allowing use in both cold and warm production areas. To protect service life during motion, the dynamic bend radius should stay above >47 mm, although one-time routing can be tighter when the cable is not cycling continuously. The motor-side feedback connection uses an 8-pin Mini I/O male plug for a defined mating format. Total cable mass is 1.4 kg, which helps limit added moving load on smaller axes.

Wake Industrial stocks this model for replacement needs. Same-day shipping is available for qualifying orders when downtime makes timing critical. Quotations remain valid for 30 days, which helps purchasers finalize approvals before ordering equipment.
