Product Description:

The 8ECF0003.1221C is an ACOPOS P3 EnDat 2.2 cable designed for industrial systems. It provides dependable connectivity between servo drives and encoders, ensuring smooth communication within motion control setups. The cable has a standard 3-meter length that enables flexibility in connections between components in control cabinets or between machine components. The 3-meter span is ideal for maintaining signal quality while minimizing excess slack that can interfere with moving parts. The cable’s outer diameter measures 6 mm, providing a compact and uniform profile suitable for dense cable layouts. The slim diameter enhances flexibility and reduces bending stress for clean and efficient installation.

The 8ECF0003.1221C is rated for an operating voltage of up to 30 volts, making it compatible with standard encoder and communication interface requirements. The low-voltage rating minimizes the risk of electrical interference and enhances system safety, especially in environments where sensitive components operate in close proximity. This cable has a 12-pin female signal connector from the Series 615 range. The connector is rated for up to 500 mating cycles, ensuring durability and consistent signal integrity throughout its service life.

The 8ECF0003.1221C is wrapped with a copper/tin braided shield offering an optical coverage of at least 85%. This high-coverage braiding enhances the cable’s EMI protection, safeguarding signal integrity across its entire length. It has an outer jacket made from PUR (polyurethane), a material known for its exceptional durability and resistance to abrasion, oil and chemicals. This makes the cable ideal for harsh industrial environments where mechanical and chemical stresses are common. This cable is constructed with a total of eight internal conductors, divided into four supply lines and four signal lines. This dedicated line separation helps prevent signal interference, enhancing the efficiency and stability of communication.
