Product Description:

B & R Automation's 8ECM0010.1312C-0 is a pre-assembled power and feedback cable in the ACOPOS P3 Cables series. The assembly links a P3 servo drive to its matched motor, carrying motor power, encoder signals, and protective earth in one bundled cable. In automated machinery, this arrangement reduces separate cable runs and helps maintain stable communication between the drive and the moving axis. Its pre-assembled format also avoids field termination work at the motor end and supports consistent routing in compact machine layouts.

The cable is supplied in a fixed length of 10 m, which suits controller-to-motor runs on medium-sized machines without additional junctions. Its conductor layout of 4 x 4.0 mm² + 2 x 0.75 mm² + 2 x 1.0 mm² separates power, auxiliary supply, and feedback circuits to reduce crosstalk. For electrical loading, it supports up to 1000 VAC (UL) and a continuous phase current of 30 A. Dynamic routing is supported by a minimum moving bend radius of 119 mm, and the cable is rated for at least 5,000,000 flex cycles in continuous chain use. A TPU outer jacket resists cutting oils, while polypropylene insulation protects the signal cores during repeated motion.

The cable has an enclosure rating of IP66/67, so it resists dust ingress and temporary immersion when installed near washdown areas. Termination is provided by a factory-installed 8-Pin Female Speedtec Motor Connector, which matches the motor interface and removes the need for field crimping. The assembly can operate at traverse speeds up to 300 m/min, and its 4 kV test voltage supports insulation integrity between conductors. A total weight of 2.8 kg keeps the cable manageable in moving cable carriers, and it is suitable for packaging and servo-axis applications that combine rapid travel with repetitive flexing.
