X67CA0D40.0050
The B & R Automation X67CA0D40.0050 sensor cable is a precision-engineered component in the CM16 Motor Cables series, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial automation. Manufactured by B & R Automation, this cable features a Cat 5e, shielded Ethernet cable construction with a total length of 5 m and a compact cable diameter of 6.7 mm. Its robust sheath material of PUR and striking sheath color green make it instantly identifiable in complex installations. Rated to operate at temperatures from -40°C to +80°C in fixed installations and -20°C to +60°C when flexing, it ensures consistent performance in harsh environments. Equipped with M12 X-coded male and female connectors and an 8-pole configuration, this cable achieves an IP67 protection rating when connected and IP20 when disconnected.
This sensor cable delivers exceptional technical capabilities with its wire cross-section of 4 x 2 x AWG26/7, allowing for efficient signal and power transmission up to the maximum cable length of 100 m for Ethernet networks. The fine-stranded Cu-ETP1 conductors and a bending radius of at least ten times the cable diameter ensure high flexibility and low signal attenuation. With an insulation resistance exceeding 100 MΩ and a maximum current rating of 4 A per contact, it supports reliable operation at voltages up to 60 V. Compliance with Category II insulation standards per IEC 61076-2 and approvals including CE and cULus guarantee conformity to international safety and performance requirements. The cable’s fire load of approximately 0.37 kWh further attests to its low combustibility in industrial settings.
Operational benefits of the X67CA0D40.0050 cable stem from its thoughtfully engineered design and material selection. The PUR sheath offers excellent resistance against oils, chemicals, UV radiation, and ozone, minimizing degradation over time. A high degree of mechanical robustness is achieved through resistance to abrasion, impact, and over 5 million bending cycles, ensuring sustained connectivity in continuous motion applications. The integrated shielding and precision X-coded connectors reduce electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments. Installation is simplified by the cable’s axial flexibility and standardized connector interfaces, which streamline routing and connection in compact control panels and distributed IO cabinets.
Integration of the X67CA0D40.0050 cable into industrial automation systems is seamless thanks to its versatile product category as a connection/extension cable. Its M12 X-coded connector type supports standardization across drive systems, sensors, and motor feedback units. The cable’s durability and performance parameters make it ideal for machine tool applications, robotic cells, packaging lines, and conveyor systems. By combining superior electrical characteristics with rugged construction, this CM16 series cable enhances system reliability, reduces downtime, and simplifies maintenance workflows in demanding manufacturing environments.
