Product Description:

The ZK2000-6100-0020 is a molded motor cable manufactured by Beckhoff and belongs to the ZK Motor Cables series. This product serves as the fixed-to-moving link between servo drives and field-level actuators, allowing power or signal transmission through compact machine channels while withstanding continuous motion in automated assembly lines. Its molded design helps maintain a secure device-end connection in applications where repeated cable movement is expected.

The connector side follows the M12 installation size and is factory fitted with an A-coded male interface, ensuring plug-and-play mating with standard field devices. Conductors inside the cable use a cross-section of 4 x 0.34 mm² (AWG 22), a geometry that balances current-carrying ability with flexibility for tight bending radii. A PUR (Polyurethane) outer jacket resists oils and weld spatter and retains elasticity after prolonged drag-chain duty. The overall diameter is 4.7 mm ±0.15 mm, so it occupies little space in cable carriers while still accommodating braided internal strain relief. When the knurled coupling nut is tightened, the assembly achieves a protection rating of IP65/67, blocking dust ingress and low-pressure water jets along machines. The factory length is 2.00 m, permitting point-to-point wiring inside standard control enclosures without intermediate junctions.

The open end of the cable is prepared for screw-clamp or IDC terminals so users can match drive pinouts. Its conductors support a continuous load of 4 A at 40 °C across all four cores when supplied at up to 250 V AC or DC, and a fastening torque of 0.6 Nm on the coupling thread secures the seal without damaging the insert. The construction is certified as Drag-Chain Suitable, meaning it can endure millions of bending cycles without conductor breakage or jacket tearing, even though no overall shielding is present.
