The **Y-CONC-R402S-RJ2M-2000-A** is a high-performance industrial networking cable assembly, primarily used for Industrial Ethernet (EtherCAT, PROFINET) and motion control applications. It is part of the Y-Con series manufactured by **Yamaichi Electronics**. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Breakdown | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type (Side A)** | RJ45 with Y-Con Protection (IP67/68/69K) | | **Connector Type (Side B)** | RJ45 with Y-Con Protection (IP67/68/69K) | | **Cable Length** | 2000mm (2 Meters) | | **Interface Standard** | Industrial Ethernet (10/100/1000 Base-T) | | **Number of Pins** | 8 Pins (Data) + 2 Integrated Power Contacts (Optional) | | **Shielding** | S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Cable Jacket** | PUR (Polyurethane) - Flame retardant & Oil resistant | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Components #### A. The Y-Con RJ45 Connector Unlike standard office-grade RJ45 plugs, this assembly uses the **Y-Con system**, which features: * **Integrated Power Contacts:** The connector includes two additional power contacts (outside the standard 8 Ethernet pins) capable of delivering up to **2.1A at 70°C**. This allows for power delivery without interfering with signal integrity. * **Enhanced Shielding:** The metal housing provides 360° EMI/RFI shielding, essential for environments with high electrical noise (e.g., near motors or VFDs). #### B. The Industrial Cable (RJ2M) The "RJ2M" designation refers to the specific cable type used in the assembly: * **Cat 5e Performance:** Designed for high-speed data transmission up to 1Gbps. * **Flexibility:** The cable is often rated for high-flex or drag-chain applications, meaning it can withstand millions of bending cycles. * **Environmental Resistance:** The PUR jacket protects the internal wiring against coolants, lubricants, and abrasion. #### C. Ingress Protection (IP Rating) When mated with a compatible Y-Con socket (like the Y-ConAS series), the assembly achieves **IP67, IP68, or IP69K** protection. This makes it impervious to: 1. Dust and fine particles. 2. High-pressure water jets. 3. Temporary immersion in water. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases * **Robotics:** Connecting sensors and controllers in motion-heavy environments. * **Vision Systems:** Transferring high-speed image data from industrial cameras to CPUs. * **Outdoor Infrastructure:** Used in telecommunications where exposure to rain and extreme temperatures is expected.
