Product Description

Beckhoff Automation, a leading industrial automation solutions provider, manufactures the C9900-K653 cable. It is part of the C9 PC Accessory Series and engineered with a specific set of physical characteristics to ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. One of its key features is its 10.00-meter length, which provides ample reach for fixed installations, minimizing the need for additional extension cables and potential points of failure. The cable's outer diameter of 8.7 mm strikes a balance between flexibility for routing and robustness for durability. This is further enhanced by the choice of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for the material jacket. PVC is known for its excellent insulation properties, chemical resistance, and ability to withstand mechanical stress and abrasion. It is ideal for industrial settings where cables may be exposed to harsh conditions.

Internally, the cable boasts a "4 x 2 x AWG23/7" cross-section. This configuration indicates four twisted wires, each with two conductors of 23 AWG gauge and seven strands per conductor. This specific construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk ensuring signal integrity even in environments with high electrical noise. The importance of signal integrity is amplified by the cable's Cat 6A rating, which supports high data transmission speeds crucial for modern industrial automation systems. Furthermore, the C9900-K653 incorporates shielding at both ends. Shielding, typically a layer of metallic braid or foil surrounding the conductors, significantly reduces electromagnetic interference, both emitted and received. This is vital in industrial environments where heavy machinery and power cables can generate significant electromagnetic fields that could disrupt data transmission.

The connector on Head A is an 8-pin male RJ45 plug with X-coding, a specific wiring configuration for industrial Ethernet applications. The "M12" installation size at Head A suggests a robust, threaded connector for secure and reliable connections in environments prone to vibration. Head B terminates in a standard RJ45 plug, ensuring compatibility with various network devices. The black jacket color is a practical choice for industrial settings, helping the cable blend in and resist showing dirt or wear. Wake Industrial provides a one-year warranty upon purchase of the C9900-K653 cable, offering customers peace of mind and assurance of its quality and reliability.
