Product Description:
The M.1302.8285 cable is manufactured by Kollmorgen and supplied under the Kollmorgen Servo Cables series. It is an Ethernet-based communication lead built for short-run installations between servo drives, I/O nodes, and data loggers inside industrial control cabinets. By carrying differential data signals with controlled impedance, the cord preserves timing integrity for deterministic motion networks that use EtherCAT or similar fieldbuses. Its short form also helps prevent excess cable from obstructing ventilation paths or nearby connections in densely populated enclosures.
This model is classified as a CAT5e patch cord, so it supports bandwidth up to 100 MHz and 100 Mb/s Ethernet signaling with its four-conductor data mapping. Termination is handled by an 8-pin RJ-45 plug at each end, allowing direct connection to standard shielded jacks on Kollmorgen AKD drives or PLC switching equipment. The overall length is 0.3 m, minimizing propagation delay while simplifying cable routing in densely populated panels. Each copper core has a size of 28 AWG, which reduces the required bend radius and eases strain relief in tight wiring ducts. A PVC jacket encloses a continuous foil shield, giving the cable shielded construction that helps block electromagnetic interference from inverter power lines and servo amplifiers. The cord contains eight conductors, providing the physical layout associated with an RJ-45 Ethernet connection.
Signal integrity is further improved by the twisted-pair geometry, which controls crosstalk between differential channels. The cable uses straight-pinned wiring, meaning that each pin connects to the corresponding pin on the opposite plug for point-to-point controller links. Drain continuity is provided through a shell-drain strap that bonds the foil shield to the plug housing and connected panel ground. The transmit-data and receive-data pairs occupy positions 1, 2, 3, and 6. Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are unused by this interface, preserving the standard mapping for two-pair Ethernet communication. The shield bond and differential arrangement help protect communication from electrical noise generated by nearby switching devices.
