Description

The BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500 is a specialized, industrial-grade EtherCAT P cable designed to integrate high-speed Ethernet communication and auxiliary power transmission into a single, unified cable. By combining both data channels and power supply lines (Us and Up), this cable minimizes wiring complexity, reduces space requirements in cable trays, and simplifies connection topology for decentralized field automation systems.

Engineered with a robust polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket, the ZB7100-0500 is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, offering high mechanical durability and oil resistance. Its flexible configuration is optimized for continuous flexing and dynamic mechanical stresses, making it suitable for automated manufacturing lines and machinery applications.

Features

  • Specifically designed and rated for EtherCAT P high-speed communication networks.
  • Optimized cable construction suitable for dynamic application in drag chains and continuous-flex systems.
  • Robust PUR (polyurethane) outer jacket provides excellent wear, abrasion, and chemical resistance.
  • Distinctive black outer jacket with a co-extruded red stripe for quick visual identification of EtherCAT P runs.
  • Combines a star-quad communication arrangement with additional dedicated power conductors.

Applications

  • Dynamic drag chains, cable carriers, and moving automated machine components.
  • EtherCAT P network installations requiring single-cable data and power distribution.
  • Industrial robotics, assembly systems, and material handling equipment.
  • Connecting decentralized EtherCAT P I/O box modules and field sensors.

Installation Guidelines

  1. Verification: Confirm that the cable specifications match the voltage, current, and environmental requirements of the connected EtherCAT P hardware.
  2. De-energize: Switch off and lock out all power sources before laying, routing, or terminating the cable.
  3. Handling and Bending: Observe the recommended minimum bending radius during installation and dynamic movement to prevent inner conductor damage.
  4. Drag-Chain Routing: Ensure the cable is laid flat and twist-free within the drag chain, avoiding excessive tension or direct friction against the chain walls.
  5. Termination: Terminate the cable only with compatible, industrial-grade EtherCAT P connectors to maintain the signal integrity and IP classification of your system.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500 cable?
The BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500 is a specialized EtherCAT P cable designed to carry both high-speed EtherCAT communication and power supply lines within a single physical cable, reducing wiring complexity in industrial setups.

Is the BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500 cable suitable for moving applications?
Yes, the BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500 is constructed with a flexible polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket designed and tested to withstand continuous motion, making it suitable for installation in dynamic industrial drag chains.

What does the red stripe on the BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500 jacket signify?
The co-extruded red stripe on the black jacket of the BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500 cable is the standard visual indicator identifying it as a dedicated EtherCAT P cable to prevent confusion with standard Ethernet cabling.

What are the conductor sizes inside the BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500?
The BECKHOFF ZB7100-0500 contains a 1 x 4 x 0.34 mm² (AWG 22) star-quad configuration for Ethernet/data alongside 2 x 0.75 mm² (approximately AWG 18) conductors for auxiliary power.
