Product Applications
-
Industrial Automation: Connecting PLCs, motor drives, and remote I/O modules within control cabinets and machinery.
-
Test and Measurement Equipment: Providing reliable interconnects for data acquisition systems and automated test racks.
-
Telecommunications Infrastructure: Used in networking and data communication equipment for backplane and board-to-board connections.
-
Medical Devices: Serving as an internal wiring harness in diagnostic and imaging systems where signal accuracy is critical.
-
Broadcast and Audio-Visual Systems: Interconnecting high-channel-count digital audio and video processing equipment.
Product Advantages
-
Enhanced Signal Integrity: The round construction with a full copper braid shield significantly reduces cross-talk and protects against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI).
-
Superior Durability: The robust outer jacket and round design provide excellent resistance to abrasion, crushing, and mechanical stress, outperforming flat ribbon cables.
-
Optimized Cable Management: The round profile is easier to route through conduits and cable carriers, and it can be secured with standard cable ties and clamps.
-
High-Density Connectivity: It consolidates 48 individual conductors into a single, manageable cable, saving space and reducing clutter in complex systems.
-
Reliable Termination: The connectors are designed for secure mating and feature gold-plated contacts to ensure a stable, low-resistance connection and resist corrosion.
FAQ
Q1: What is the pitch spacing between conductors in this cable?
A1: The conductors are arranged with a standard pitch, typically 0.05 inches (1.27 mm), which is common for high-density ribbon connectors.
Q2: What is the gauge (AWG) of the individual wires inside the cable?
A2: The internal conductors are typically 28 AWG, which is standard for signal-level ribbon cable applications.
Q3: Is this cable suitable for continuous flexing applications?
A3: While durable, this specific model is not rated for continuous flexing in cable carrier systems. For dynamic applications, a specialized flex-rated variant would be recommended.
Q4: What is the level of shielding effectiveness provided?
A4: The full copper braid shield offers high-frequency shielding effectiveness, typically greater than 90% coverage, providing excellent protection against EMI.
Q5: Can the cable be customized to a different length?
A5: Custom lengths are often available as a value-added service from Emerson or its authorized distributors, though the SE4000L6P48 is a standard 6-meter part.
Q6: What is the flame rating of the cable jacket?
A6: The standard jacket material complies with UL-rated flammability standards such as VW-1 or is available in a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) version for specific safety requirements.
Q7: Are the connectors keyed to prevent mis-mating?
A7: Yes, the connectors are designed with a keying mechanism to ensure they can only be plugged in the correct orientation, preventing damage from incorrect installation.
Q8: What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
A8: While dependent on the entire system, the cable’s construction supports high-speed data transmission, suitable for fast digital I/O and parallel data bus applications.
Q9: Is the cable oil-resistant?
A9: The standard PVC jacket offers mild resistance. For environments with significant exposure to oils or chemicals, a jacket made of Polyurethane (PUR) is a recommended alternative.
Q10: What tools are required for field termination or repair?
A10: Field termination is not recommended. This is a factory-assembled cable, and the connectors require specialized crimping and assembly tools for a proper, reliable termination.
