8CCH01X01.11110-1 by B & R Automation

The 8CCH01X01.11110-1 motor cable is manufactured by B&R Automation for the CM16 Motor Cables series and serves as the fixed connection between a CM16 servo motor and its corresponding drive controller in automated machinery. It carries three separate circuit groups-power, low-level signals, and differential data-so a single routed harness can deliver motion energy, encoder feedback, and fieldbus communication. The design supports continuously moving cable chains used in gantries and pick-and-place units, and its mechanical layout is intended to maintain conductor integrity during millions of bending cycles in industrial automation.

The cable has an IP65 rating, meaning the jacket prevents dust ingress and resists low-pressure water jets. A 15-pin female TYCO connector terminates the drive side, and all pins are pre-crimped to minimize contact resistance. The cable uses 5 power conductors, each with a cross-section of 2.5 mm², to carry balanced three-phase current and protective earth. For electromagnetic shielding, it uses a tinned copper braid >85% plus foil, which helps keep inverter switching edges away from nearby sensors and control wiring. The connector is intended for up to twenty mating cycles before contact plating wear should be checked.

A rugged outer jacket of PUR resists oils and cutting fluids, supporting routing through machine tool enclosures. Four differential pairs are reserved for CAN or Ethernet, and each pair has a cross-section of 0.34 mm². Signal monitoring channels use conductors with a cross-section of 0.75 mm² for brake and temperature-sensor circuits, which helps keep feedback paths separate from switching loads. Continuous flexing is supported from -40 °C to +80 °C while the cable is in motion, allowing deployment in cold-storage conveyors as well as high-temperature assembly cells.
