The Beckhoff ZK1090-3100-0020 is a highly flexible EtherCAT fieldbus cable with a length of 2.00 m, specifically designed for use in dynamic applications such as drag chains. The cable features a straight, 4-pole M8 connector (A-coded, male) on one side, enabling a secure and reliable connection to EtherCAT controllers and components. The other side ends open, allowing for individual customization or direct connection to other components at the cable end. The PUR jacket material ensures high mechanical durability, chemical resistance, and longevity, even under harsh industrial conditions. The cable is shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in the network. With a conductor cross-section of 1 x 4 x 0.14 mm² (AWG26) and a rated voltage of 50 V AC / 60 V DC, it is designed for use in industrial automation systems. The maximum rated current capacity is 4 A at a temperature of 40 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of drive and sensor units.
