Product Description:

The 8ECH0007.1312A-0 is a prefabricated power and feedback cable produced by B&R Automation for its ACOPOS P3 Cables series. It links a drive module to its servomotor, carrying three-phase power, auxiliary supply, and encoder signals in a single routed assembly that simplifies industrial automation wiring and shortens installation time. By combining these circuits in one cable, the assembly helps reduce routing complexity and keeps the motor connection path compact in tightly packed machine layouts.

The drive end is terminated with a 13-pin female speedtec hybrid motor connector that provides 13 contacts for motor phases, brake functions, and digital feedback. These contacts are rated for a continuous load of 30 A and are supported by a conductor set of 4x 4 mm² + 2x 1 mm² + 2x 0.30 mm² + 2x 2x 0.15 mm². High-frequency interference is reduced by the cable’s layered shield of tinned copper braiding and foil shield, while a second foil wrap and filler elements help keep the cable bundle concentric for stable transmission behavior. The molded coupling hardware has a sealing rating of IP66/67, so the mated interface resists dust ingress and temporary immersion.

At the encoder side, an 8-pin male Mini I/O encoder connector with 8 contacts supports differential feedback pairs on the listed signal conductors. A rugged outer jacket of PUR protects the stranding against oil exposure and flex fatigue, and the outer surface is colored orange, similar to RAL 2003 flat for easy identification along cable trays. The primary conductors use PP insulation, which offers low dielectric loss across a broad service temperature range. Filler elements, dual shielding, and the stated conductor layout help maintain stable separation between power and encoder channels during dynamic motion.
