5CASDL.0050-00

The B & R Automation 5CASDL.0050-00 cable assembly from the CM16 Motor Cables series delivers robust motor control connectivity in confined industrial automation environments. This 0.5-meter cable combines high-clarity data transmission with durable mechanical design to support critical motion control tasks. Featuring DL-Type connectors on both ends, the 5CASDL.0050-00 ensures reliable interfacing with standard motor drives and controllers. The flexible 28 AWG conductors and PVC jacket maintain signal integrity while allowing tight routing in complex machinery cabinets. As part of the B & R Automation product line, this cable meets stringent industrial standards for performance and uptime.

The cable’s construction incorporates a Cable shield of tinned copper braiding with optical coverage > 85% to minimize electromagnetic interference in harsh electrical environments. It uses 2x DVI-D (24+1) male connectors with gold-plated contacts for low contact resistance and corrosion resistance over repeated mating cycles. The wire cross section of 28 AWG balances flexibility with current-carrying capacity, while the PVC material jacket provides chemical and abrasion resistance. Insulation integrity is verified with a minimum insulation resistance of 10 MΩ/km, ensuring reliable dielectric performance. A locating screw tightening torque of max. 0.5 Nm secures the connectors under vibration and mechanical stress. The cable supports 100 mating cycles without degradation and includes metal cover with crimped strain relief for enhanced mechanical protection. With an operating voltage of 30 V max and an operation temperature range of 0 to 80°C, the assembly maintains stable transmission in standard industrial climates. The overall weight of approx. 580 g aids handling and installation.

Operational performance is optimized through precision connector alignment and strain-relief design that reduce insertion force and prevent conductor fatigue under repeated flexing. The DL-Type DVI-D interface delivers consistent signal clarity even in dynamic motor control applications where noise rejection is critical. The PVC jacket exhibits high resistance to oils, solvents, and temperature cycling, extending cable life in machine tool and conveyor systems. The tinned copper shield also functions as a ground reference, preventing ground-loop interference and improving system EMC compliance. Mechanical testing confirms that the cable maintains its electrical characteristics after 100 cycles of mated insertion at specified torque levels.

System integration is straightforward via standardized DVI-D interfaces compatible with many B & R Automation motor drivers and third-party controllers. The compact 0.5 m length allows use in tight enclosures, cable chains, and robotic arms without excessive slack. Target applications include servo motor linkages, stepper drives, and I/O interface modules in packaging, assembly, and material handling equipment. The 5CASDL.0050-00 meets industrial automation requirements for reliability, ease of installation, and long-term performance.
