EtherCAT P cable
For the EtherCAT P connection are pre-assembled M8 cables in various lengths and the versions: plug – open end, plug – plug or plug - socket available.
For connecting EtherCAT P devices only shielded Ethernet cables that meet the requirements of at least category 5 (CAT5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used.
Recommendations about cabling You may get detailed recommendations about cabling EtherCAT from the documentation "Infrastructure for EtherCAT/Ethernet", that is available for download at www.Beckhoff.com. |
