Product Description

The ZK4511-0020-0050 encoder extension cable is a high quality product designed for industrial automation applications requiring robust signal transmission. This cable is engineered for long lasting performance in dynamic environments where flexibility and durability are critical.

The cable operates at 30 V with a conductor cross section of 7 x 2 x 0.14 mm² and 2 x 0.5 mm². This provides adequate electrical properties for consistent data transfer. Its PUR (polyurethane) outer jacket and PP (polypropylene) wire insulation ensure excellent resistance to mechanical stress. The cable supports up to 10 million cycles and is drag-chain compatible that makes it suitable for high flex applications. The shielding with an optical covering factor of more than 85 % ensures minimal interference and reliable signal integrity. The connector heads feature a plug and socket configuration with a Speedtec locking system for quick and secure mating rated for 500 mating cycles. The product comes with a green jacket color and is capable of handling dynamic tensile loads of up to 20 N/mm² and static loads of 50 N/mm².

The ZK4511-0020-0050 encoder extension cable is designed with a minimum bending radius of 4 to 7 times the outer cable diameter depending on whether it is used in a fixed installation or drag-chain application. This combined with a torsion angle of ±30°/m ensures flexibility and protection against cable damage during continuous motion. Its lightweight construction (84 kg/km) and compact size (7.6 mm outer diameter) contribute to ease of handling during installation. It is designed for use in environments with a maximum acceleration of up to 30 m/s² and speed up to 4 m/s. The cable can withstand a travel distance of 20 meters.
