Product Description:

The RKB0011 cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RKB Control Cables series. It forms a ready-to-install Ethernet link between drive amplifiers and the central controller in automated machinery, eliminating the need for on-site crimping or pin assignment. Factory-terminated plugs help the assembly maintain consistent impedance while reducing setup time in multi-axis systems that rely on synchronized network communication.

As a multi-Ethernet line, the assembly supports a sustained data throughput of 100 Mbit/s, matching the electrical timing of 100BASE-TX (IEEE 802.3u). This bandwidth permits deterministic exchange of cyclic setpoints and feedback over SERCOS fieldbus, as well as standard TCP/IP traffic. The cable is intended for use on a drive-to-controller Ethernet link, and its conductor geometry meets the characteristic impedance requirements for high-speed differential pairs. Compatibility with SERCOS III / EtherCAT / PROFINET / EtherNet/IP allows the same part to serve mixed networks without changing hardware. For machine panels that carry motor power next to signal lines, the conductors are rated to 600 V, and the overall EMC shielding of foil and braid helps attenuate radiated noise so that encoder feedback remains stable.

Mechanical construction follows the predefined RBS0016-REB0400-RBS0016 assembly stack, meaning each end is furnished with factory-molded plugs that enclose the REB0400 bulk cable segment. The core cable itself is identified as REB0400, a fine-stranded design chosen for flexible routing inside moving-axis drag chains. A tough PUR (polyurethane) jacket resists cutting oils and repeated bending, helping the cordset meet typical servo-drive service life targets. Both ends terminate with RJ-45 connectors (RBS0016), and the snap-in latching hardware secures the mating interface to help prevent accidental release during vibration or cable movement.
