Product Description:

The 8ECM0007.1111C-0 cable assembly from B & R Automation belongs to the ACOPOS P3 Cables series. It is a hybrid power and feedback lead designed to connect ACOPOS P3 servo drives with field-mounted motors and encoders in automated machinery. By combining motor power conductors and shielded signal pairs in one assembly, it helps reduce separate cable runs and keeps routing more orderly around moving axes. This arrangement is useful where cabinet space is limited and cable carriers must manage both motor supply and position signals in the same motion path. The cable is intended for machine sections where synchronized motion, compact installation, and reliable feedback transmission are all required.

A molded 8-pin female SpeedTec connector is fitted on the motor end, and its keyed shape supports quick locking while helping prevent incorrect connection. Mechanical durability is rated for less than 500 mating cycles, so the cable is better suited to permanent installation than to frequent reconnecting. The polyurethane outer sheath has an IP66/67 rating, which protects against dust and strong water exposure in wash-down areas. Beneath the PUR jacket, the cable uses a conductor layout of 4 x 1.5 mm² + 2 x (2 x 0.75 mm²), separating motor power from feedback circuits to reduce electrical interference.

The assembly includes 4 power conductors, and each 1.5 mm² core has a linear resistance of 13.7 Ω/km or less to help limit voltage drop over longer distances. The 0.75 mm² feedback pairs have a loop resistance of 26.7 Ω/km or less, which helps preserve encoder supply levels and differential signal quality during operation. Insulation performance between an individual conductor and the overall braid reaches 4 kV, providing a strong barrier against switching-related voltage stress from the drive. This combination of power capacity, feedback separation, and insulation strength supports use in servo-driven packaging, assembly, and material-handling equipment.
