Product Description:

The IKB0005 cable is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the IKB Bus Cables series. It is intended for point-to-point or multi-drop communication between Indramat drives and supervisory controllers. Its role is to carry serial data reliably across industrial machine layouts where electrical noise can interfere with control signals.

The conductor set inside the cable is identical to the bulk spool reference INK0572, confirming the same impedance and shield construction in field-terminated and preassembled runs. Classified as a bus cable, it supports balanced differential signaling that helps limit electromagnetic interference inside control cabinets. Its jacket is orange, which makes the communication line easier to identify during service. A molded RS232 interface defines the electrical layer, and the maximum installed length is 15 m to stay within the capacitance limits of that standard.

At the drive end, the primary shell is the keyed INS0760 connector that mates directly with Indramat controller receptacles and provides a 15-pin connection for handshake and auxiliary signals. The opposite side uses the compact INS0768 shell with a 9-pin bushing layout for direct connection to operator panels or diagnostic ports. This arrangement avoids unnecessary gender changers and helps preserve a continuous shield drain path through the metallized backshells.
