Beckhoff delivers supply modules with integrated and pre-assem-
bled power cables and EtherCAT cables. Mating connectors are not
included in the scope of supply. The cable end of the power supply
is pre-assembled with ferrules. The EtherCAT cable is available with
an RJ45 connector, connection TSB568A.
Modules with connectors are supplied without power cables and
EtherCAT cables. Power cables and EtherCAT cables as well as
any necessary adapters must be ordered separately. For more infor-
mation see the chapter on "Accessories", [Page 188].
WARNING
Do not extend cables
The power cable of the module with power supply is designed
with a length of 5 m and the optional power cables for modules
with connector are designed with a length of up to 10 m to match
the 16 A "B" circuit breaker of the power supply unit. Never ex-
tend the power cables, since correct tripping of the circuit breaker
cannot be guaranteed with an extended power cable.
Extending the power cables can cause irreparable damage to the
modules or result in electrocution causing serious injury or death.
Beckhoff cables have been tested with regard to the materials,
shielding and connection method used. They ensure proper func-
tioning and compliance with statutory regulations such as EMC and
UL. The use of other cables may lead to unexpected interference
and invalidate the warranty.
Beckhoff recommendation for correct application and assem-
bly:
• Wiring in accordance with applicable regulations and standards
• Use the pre-assembled and shielded Beckhoff cables for power
and EtherCAT connections
