Product Description:

The RKB0063 is a flexible industrial control cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RKB Control Cables series. Designed for motion-control cabinets and machine assemblies, it carries high-speed video or diagnostic signals between automation components while tolerating continuous movement on cable tracks and robotic arms. A matched pair of connectors maintains signal integrity throughout the cable run and supports operator panels, drive controllers, or vision modules that use embedded DisplayPort interfaces. Its flexible design also allows routing through moving equipment where rigid video cables would be unsuitable.

The conductors and shielding are engineered for 5,000,000 bending cycles, allowing the cable to operate in dynamic drag chains without early fatigue. For moving installations, the minimum bending radius is 7.5 × D, where D represents the cable’s outer diameter. This radius provides predictable strain relief as the cable accelerates, decelerates, and changes direction with the surrounding machinery. Stationary runs inside control panels permit a minimum bending radius of 5 × D, conserving space while keeping the copper strands within their elastic limit. Each end is fitted with a DisplayPort plug that connects to a standard compatible socket. The overmolded connector backshells provide support where the cable enters each plug, helping reduce concentrated mechanical stress during repeated movement.

During operation, the cable functions at temperatures from -30 °C through 80 °C. This operating range accommodates temperature changes commonly encountered around industrial machinery while preserving the performance of the jacket, conductors, shielding, and dielectric materials. Storage uses the same lower temperature limit and permits an upper temperature of 40 °C, making the cable suitable for inventory areas without continuous climate control. Keeping the cable within this storage range helps prevent jacket embrittlement and protects the internal conductors before installation. The shielding reduces the influence of surrounding electrical noise, while the matched terminations preserve stable transmission between connected automation components.
