Description
Engineered for demanding industrial motion applications, the ZB7215-R002 provides integrated EtherCAT P communication and auxiliary power delivery within a single, highly flexible cable jacket. This hybrid design consolidates high-speed real-time Ethernet data and dual-channel power lines, eliminating the need for separate signal and power runs to field devices. Designed to withstand continuous mechanical stress, this cable features a robust polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket that makes it highly resilient and suitable for continuous flexing within moving machinery and automated guide tracks.
Features
- Hybrid EtherCAT P structure combining high-speed data transmission and auxiliary power channels in one cable
- Durable PUR (polyurethane) outer jacket resistant to abrasion, tearing, and common industrial oils
- Specifically engineered and certified for continuous flex, drag-chain installations
- High-visibility black jacket featuring a yellow identification stripe for fast routing and field safety checks
- No overall shield configuration to maintain high flexibility and compact outer diameter
Applications
- Continuous-flex cable tracks and energy drag chains
- Multi-axis robotic arms and articulated motion machinery
- Automated assembly systems and packaging lines
- High-speed material handling and logistics conveyors

Installation Guidelines
- Maintain specified minimum bending radiuses when routing inside drag chains to prevent internal conductor fatigue.
- Ensure even distribution of cables within the energy chain, allowing sufficient clearance for movement without binding.
- Protect cable ends from dust, moisture, and cutting debris prior to termination and connection.
- Do not exceed the maximum tensile load limits during installation pull-through.
