Product Description:
The RKB0043 belongs to the RKB Control Cables series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. This Ethernet-based control cable is used to interconnect drives, sensors, and PLC masters inside Sercos automation architectures, providing deterministic telegram transfer while withstanding continuous motion along cable chains. By arriving fully terminated, it simplifies installation tasks on assembly lines and test rigs where reliable data transmission is essential for synchronised motion.
Durability is defined by a flex life of 3,000,000 bending cycles, allowing the lead to operate in constantly moving drag-chain applications without conductor fatigue. Compatibility with the real-time fieldbus is secured through its Sercos III bus rating, while the conductor geometry follows the Ethernet specification Cat5e to support 100 Mbit/s signalling. During machine operation the sheath may flex down to a dynamic radius of 7.5xD, and functionality is maintained as low as -40 °C for cold-store equipment.
Installation convenience stems from the cable being supplied as a Ready-Made assembly that requires no onsite crimping. Both ends terminate in a sealed M12 4-Pin connector so the link can be secured with a quarter-turn thread even in confined panels. Once routed, the conductor stack tolerates a static loop diameter equal to 5xD, preventing insulation stress during long dwelling phases. For warehousing and transport the material remains stable down to -50 °C, enabling safe staging before integration.
Wake Industrial stocks this model and can arrange same-day shipping when urgent replacements are required. Quotations for the RKB0043 remain valid for 30 days, simplifying procurement approvals.
