1.2.3.1.6.3 Instructions for manufacturing the cables
1.2.3.1.6.3.1 General Cable and Wire Specifications
The cable and its wires should meet the minimum requirements of EtherCAT standards.
Attention
For connecting EtherCAT devices only Ethernet cables that meet the requirements of at least category 5
(Cat5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used.
The Distance from the connector to the cable housing shall be 30 mm.
Shield wires must be protected with a shrink tube or similar.
Each transition of cable-to-wires must be secured/protected with a shrink tube that is lined with
adhesive.This prevents the shrink tube from sliding off.
All the wires should be of the same length, or as much as possible of the same length, in order to prevent
tensions in different wires.
Wires 4 and 5 must be twisted together according to EtherCAT standards.
Wires 6 and 7 must be twisted together according to EtherCAT standards.
Wire 1 shouldn’t be twisted with any other wire.
Wires 2 and 3 may be twisted, but it is not mandatory.
Attention
The cable should be able to withstand a maximum voltage of 100 V wire-to-wire and wire to shield.
