Product Description:

B&R Automation manufactures the 8ECG00X4.3151D-0, a molded cable offered in the ACOPOS P3 Cables series. This assembly is intended for low-level signal transmission between drive components and peripheral control modules inside automated machinery. Its predefined connector pair eliminates on-site wiring, ensuring consistent impedance and shielding performance that supports reliable feedback or communication loops in compact industrial cabinets. In modern motion systems, the cable links ACOPOS P3 servo hardware to auxiliary sensors or controllers, reducing installation time and potential wiring errors.

The assembly is 0.4 m long, a dimension that suits point-to-point connections inside a single enclosure while keeping excess wiring to a minimum. Its conductor grouping of 5 × 2 × 0.14 mm² uses five twisted pairs, each with 0.14 mm² of copper, a layout that balances flexibility with the needs of encoder or I/O signals. The fitted connectors are 10-pin Male IX to 15-pin Female DSUB, allowing direct coupling between an ACOPOS P3 drive port and standard DSUB field modules. Signal quality is supported by a maximum loop resistance of ≤122 Ω/km, which helps reduce voltage drop across the short run. The cable also has an insulation resistance of >200 MΩ·km, which limits leakage current even in humid cabinets.

For dynamic cable chains, the product supports a moving bend radius of ≥68 mm, so repeated articulation does not damage the conductors. In fixed routing, the bend radius may be reduced to ≥34 mm for a single-bend installation. Shielding reaches ≥85% coverage with braided tinned-copper strands, blocking external electromagnetic fields that could corrupt differential signals. The outer sheath is gray PVC for easy identification, and the total mass is only 63 g, which helps keep the load on drag-chain carriers low.
