Product Description

The Beckhoff ZK1090-3132-0050 EtherCAT cable is designed for reliable data transmission in industrial automation systems. Beckhoff is a company known for its innovative automation solutions. This cable ensures secure and efficient communication in EtherCAT networks.

The ZK1090 series cable is designed with premium materials to provide reliable performance and features a robust 4 pin A coded connector system with both male and female plug options for secure straightforward installation. This EtherCAT cable accommodates a rated voltage of 30 V and supports up to 4 A current at an ambient temperature of 40 °C. The cable maintains a high insulation resistance of at least 150 MΩ/km that enhances safety and reliability over long distances. This EtherCAT cable excels in minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) thanks to a shielding attenuation of ≥ 43 dB. This cable’s characteristic impedance is finely tuned to 100 Ω ± 15 Ω aligning with Ethernet standards for effective data transmission. It offers a loop resistance of 250 Ω/km to reduce signal loss and is constructed with tinned copper conductors made up of 19 strands. The cable cross section of 1 x 4 x 0.14 mm² (AWG 26) supports data integrity and ensures minimal loss during signal transfer.

This cable allows for over 100 mating cycles with contact types that include straight male and female connectors confirming its long lasting performance and reliable connectivity even in demanding environments. The polyurethane (PUR) jacket provides high abrasion resistance protecting the cable in harsh demanding conditions. The cable structure is star quad which enhances signal integrity and minimizes crosstalk. This cable model supports a maximum of 20 million cycles and is ideal for applications requiring frequent movement.
