Product Description:

Beckhoff produces ZB9020 EtherCAT cable for industrial automation and communication systems. This cable is made to ensure stable data transmission. It has an operating voltage of 600 V. The maximum operation voltage should not exceed 125 V peak. This cable is not for use with high voltages. The insulation resistance is under a minimum of 500 MΩ per kilometer.

The ZB9020 cable offers shielding attenuation of at least 40 dB, which assists in lowering magnetic interference in delicate environments. The cable has a capacitance to ground of 1600 pF/km. unbalanced. It has a mutual capacitance of 52 nF/km at 1 kHz. These parameters ensure stable signal performance over long distances. The 100-ohm characteristic impedance characterizes the ZB9020 cable. This value has a plus or minus 15-ohm tolerance at 100 MHz. The limit in loop resistance has been set at 115 ohms as the maximum for a kilometer. The differential impedance is rated 250 ohms per kilometer. The unbalanced resistance is kept below 2 percent, which guarantees uniform signal quality in Ethernet applications. This prevents the cable from suffering an electrical breakdown. This cable provides quality communication in harsh environments.

The running time of the signal in ZB9020 cable is recorded to be 5.3 nanoseconds per meter, which favors data transfer at a high rate along the cable length. The electrical parameters are standardized on Cat.5. This makes the EtherCAT cable an acceptable supplement to Ethernet. The test voltage is rated at no less than 2000 V. It is made to ensure that the data is not compromised and the system functions properly. Dielectric strength between wires is 1000 V DC/700 V AC. The same dielectric strength is applicable between the wire and the shield.
