Product Description:
The ZK1090-0101-1030 cable is produced by Beckhoff and is part of the ZK Motor Cables series. Designed for integration inside industrial control cabinets, the product functions as a pre-assembled Ethernet lead that links servo drives, I/O terminals, and higher-level controllers. By combining a shielded twisted-pair construction with molded connectors, the assembly provides deterministic data transmission and power continuity in motion-control networks where repeatable positioning and synchronized axis updates are required. It acts as the fixed backbone between the PLC and field devices, eliminating on-site crimping and ensuring consistent electrical characteristics across identical machines.
With a length of 3.00 m, the cable comfortably spans cabinet sections without leaving excessive slack. Its twisted-pair core of 4 × 2 × AWG26 provides the 100 Ω differential impedance needed by industrial Ethernet. Classification as Cat.5 supports 100 Mbit/s EtherCAT traffic while maintaining near-end crosstalk within specified limits. The conductors are bare copper to reduce contact resistance, and the red PVC jacket provides quick visual identification among power lines. The cable has a working potential of 160 V and a continuous line load of 1 A at 50 °C, allowing auxiliary brake supply or sensor power to share the sheath. A permissible length deviation of +40 mm simplifies cable chain design.
Mechanical attributes suit stationary routing. The nominal outer diameter of 5.3 mm ± 0.3 mm permits tight bundling without exceeding the minimum bend radius. Continuous screening by Al-clad foil + tinned copper braid attenuates fields from inverters and contactors. Each end carries a molded RJ45 plug, straight, male, 8-pin, so installation only requires plugging into the device port. Because the assembly is intended for fixed installation, the 0.14 mm² conductor cross-section resists fatigue from cabinet vibration. Environmental protection reaches IP20, matching dry, closed enclosures and indoor cabinet use.
