Designed for demanding dynamic industrial environments, the Beckhoff ZB7210-0100 raw cable integrates high-speed EtherCAT P communication and robust auxiliary power distribution within a single wear-resistant sheath. This cable features a high-flexibility construction tailored specifically for continuous motion in drag chains and moving machine elements. By combining four Ethernet communication cores with three high-capacity power conductors, it eliminates the need for separate signal and power lines, reducing installation footprint, labor costs, and cable carrier weight in decentralized control architectures.

The ZB7210-0100 is supplied as raw bulk cable. It is fully compatible with standard Beckhoff B23 field-installable connectors. When selecting connectors, ensure you source B23 Series EtherCAT P rated connectors to maintain correct spacing and pin alignment for the AWG 14 power and AWG 22 communication lines. Do not use standard EtherCAT (non-P) connectors, as standard EtherCAT does not support integrated power lines on the communication cores.
While the outer PUR jacket is exceptionally tough, avoid exceeding the maximum physical bending limits inside a drag chain. Torsional stress should be eliminated by ensuring the cable is laid flat without twists when first wound into the carrier. Running this cable adjacent to unshielded high-voltage AC motor drives in the same tray should be done with care; although the EtherCAT signal is highly robust, physical separation from noisy motor leads prevents coupling into the unshielded power conductors inside this cable run.
When stripping the outer jacket to terminate into a field-mountable connector, use specialized outer jacket strip tools calibrated for 11.1 mm outer diameters to prevent nicking the thin insulation on the 0.34 mm2 communication cores. Ensure that the red identification stripe remains visible outside the cable gland of your connector to allow field technicians to distinguish the safe EtherCAT P network run from standard Ethernet lines at a glance.
Unroll the cable directly from the drum before installation. Do not pull the cable over the side of the spool, as this introduces structural twisting that degrades drag-chain life expectancy.
Lay the cable loosely in the drag chain. Ensure it occupies no more than 60 percent of the internal cross-section of the carrier cavity to allow lateral movement during high-flexion runs.
Secure both ends of the cable with robust strain relief brackets outside the moving sections of the drag chain. Clamp only the outer PUR jacket without compressing the internal cores.
