ZK1090-3191-3020
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff ZK1090-3191-3020 motor cable is part of the ZK Motor Cables series by Beckhoff. This robust EtherCAT cable features a 2.00 m length and a resilient green PVC jacket to protect against mechanical wear. At one end, it is fitted with an M8, 4-pin A-coded plug (male) and at the other end with an RJ45, 8-pin plug (male), making it ideal for fixed installation in machine automation environments. Designed for high-speed data transmission, it ensures reliable connectivity between drives and controllers in demanding industrial applications.
The ZK1090-3191-3020 cable is engineered for maximum performance under continuous movement. The conductor configuration is 1 x 4 x 0.14 mm² (AWG26), enclosed within a green PUR jacket that offers superior abrasion and chemical resistance compared to standard PVC. With an outer diameter of 5.4 mm and a mass of 40 kg per kilometer, the cable remains flexible enough for drag chain use while maintaining its mechanical integrity over extensive cycles. Both heads feature full shielding (90 % optical coverage factor) to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring data integrity even in electrically noisy environments.
Rated at 30 V, the cable boasts a dielectric strength of 1000 V DC and 700 V AC for wire-to-wire and wire-to-shield insulation. Its insulation resistance exceeds 150 MΩ/km, limiting leakage currents and enhancing safety. The mutual capacitance is 51 pF/m at 1 kHz, with a loop resistance of 250 Ω/km, supporting stable signal propagation. A propagation delay of 5.55 ns/m aligns with Cat5 specifications for industrial Ethernet applications. Designed specifically for fixed installation, the ZK1090-3191-3020 delivers exceptional durability, high-speed performance, and efficient operation in EtherCAT systems and other industrial networking setups.
