X20CA0E61.02000

Product Description:

The X20CA0E61.02000 is another high-quality cable connector manufactured by B&R Automation under the X20 product line. Specifically, this cable connects two devices via RJ45 connectors to establish either Ethernet or Powerlink communication. The Ethernet communication protocol uses star topology, which is appropriate for systems running with a central hub or data center. On the other hand, the Powerlink communication standard uses master-slave architecture that allows a unit to control other subsequent uses. The Powerlink communication protocol allows further sectionalizing of a large system into smaller parts. For automation purposes, a Powerlink connection provides obvious advantages.

The X20CA0E61.02000 extends up to a length of 20 meters, allowing devices distanced below or equal to 20 meters to be connected. Based on its datasheet, the X20CA0E61.02000 has a diameter of 6.7 millimeters with a possible maximum deviation of more or less 0.2 millimeters. The X20CA0E61.02000 has a bend radius of 4 times the outer diameter when using fixed installation. On the other hand, its bend radius increases up to more than 8 times its outer diameter when using flexible installation. The bend radius for cables determines the smallest radius specified by the manufacturers for it to curve around, effectively changing its direction. For fixed installations, the bend radius is smaller since the cable is more stable from positional variations.

During operation, the X20CA0E61.02000 permits a rated voltage of 125 volts and an ambient temperature range of -40 to 80 degrees Celsius (fixed installation) and -10 to 60 degrees Celsius (flexible installation). The X20CA0E61.02000 uses halogen-free material for its inner jacket, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for its outer jacket, and polyethylene (PE) for its wire insulation. Overall, the X20CA0E61.02000 integrates four pairs of strands inside the cable.
