Product Description

The X20CA0E61.00020 is a special accessory under B&R Automation's modular product family, the X20 series. Simply put, this accessory is an Ethernet/Powerlink cable that incorporates an RJ45 to RJ45 connection. It has a length of 0.2 meters and a mass of 0.058 kg/m. Assuming the standard length of 0.2 meters, the expected mass of the product is 11.6 grams. As a connection cable for Ethernet/Powerlink, it houses twisted pairs inside, protecting the conductors from flame, elements, and other foreign objects. Its inner jacket incorporates halogen-free material, while its outer jacket is primarily constructed using high-grade PVC. The insulation of this cable is polyethylene, with a resistance of 5 gigaohms per kilometer at room temperature.

The X20CA0E61.00020 permits a maximum nominal voltage of 125 volts and a transfer rate of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s. Although originally the Ethernet communication protocol allowed much higher transfer rates, the maximum transfer rate of this cable is stalled at 1000 Mbit/s because it is also Powerlink-capable. The conductor, which is shielded inside the insulator, has a resistance of less than 145 ohms per kilometer at room temperature. The X20CA0E61.00020's cable features IP 67 degree of protection, which is the highest protection category for most electrical machines and devices. The RJ45 connector, however, only employs a protection grade of IP 20.

The X20CA0E61.00020 supports both fixed and flexible installations. Depending on the installation type, the temperature range permitted varies. When installed in a fixed manner, the X20CA0E61.00020 may operate between -40 and 80 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, when installed flexibly, the X20CA0E61.00020 functions between -10 and 60 degrees Celsius. During transport, the recommended ambient temperature range must be between -40 and 80 degrees Celsius.
