(CAT5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used. EtherCAT uses four wires for signal transmission. Thanks to automatic line detection ("Auto MDI-X"), both symmetrical (1:1) or cross-over cables can be used between Beckhoff EtherCAT. Detailed recommendations for the cabling of EtherCAT devices can be found at https://infosys.beckhoff.com/content/1033/ethernetcabling/index.html?id=1661412216745722148.

Identification Code (BIC) General In future you will increasingly find machine-readable information on Beckhoff products in the form of a Data Matrix Code (DMC, ECC200). This helps us to improve the quality assurance process, beyond which you can use it for better identification of our products.
Page 51
Article description Quantity An important component of the BIC is the Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN, item no. 2). The BTN is a unique 8-character serial number that in future will replace all other serial number systems at Beckhoff (e.g. batch designations on IO components, hitherto serial number circle for safety products, etc.). The BTN is likewise being introduced gradually, so it may be the case that the BTN is not yet coded in the BIC.
