Product Description:
The ZK7A26-3031-0022 is a preassembled motor cable supplied by Beckhoff within the ZK Motor Cables series. It is engineered for EtherCAT P installations in which power and communication share a single hybrid line, allowing compact wiring between servo drives and machine-mounted motors. By combining twisted data pairs with power cores in one rugged jacket, the cable simplifies routing through drag chains and cabinets in automated production cells.
The signal pair has a cross-sectional area of 0.34 mm² (AWG 22), providing low-resistance paths for differential data while maintaining flexibility during continuous motion. Compliance with Ethernet category Cat. 5 makes the link suitable for 100 Mbit/s EtherCAT P traffic, supporting deterministic communication cycles. The M12 connector has 4 contacts, with dedicated connections for the DC supply and data that match the fieldbus pinout. A molded cable length of 2.2 m accommodates short motor-to-drive runs inside compact machines and reduces excess slack that could strain cable carriers. The overmolded coupling and PUR jacket provide a protection rating of IP65/IP67, preventing dust ingress and protecting the assembly against low-pressure water jets or brief immersion. This protection allows the cable to be routed outside sealed electrical cabinets when the connected equipment uses compatible sealed interfaces.
The cable uses installation size B23, allowing the coded M12 plug to mate directly with compatible Beckhoff AM8xxx servo motors that use this housing envelope. Its mechanical coding is set to 3, which helps prevent accidental connection to adjacent EtherCAT P or sensor interfaces during installation or maintenance. The conductor colors, shielding, and drain-wire arrangement follow the format used throughout the ZK Motor Cables portfolio. These features support orderly termination and consistent clamping when several cable lengths are routed through the same energy chain. The integrated jacket also protects the internal conductors from abrasion caused by repetitive movement, while the preassembled connectors eliminate the need to terminate individual conductors at the machine. The fixed connector orientation should be considered when planning bends near the motor and drive interfaces so that the cable is not twisted during installation.
