The **Y-CONC-R42CU-RJ2S-2000-C** is a high-performance, industrial-grade industrial Ethernet cable assembly, typically associated with the **Y-Con** series by Yamaichi Electronics. These parts are specifically designed for harsh industrial environments where standard RJ45 connectors would fail due to vibration, moisture, or EMI. --- ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type A** | Y-Con RJ45 IP20/IP67 Plug | | **Connector Type B** | Y-Con RJ45 IP20/IP67 Plug | | **Cable Category** | Cat 5e (typically) | | **Length** | 2000mm (2 Meters) | | **Shielding** | S/FTP or SF/UTP (Double Shielded) | | **Jacket Material** | PUR (Polyurethane) - Chemical & Abrasion Resistant | | **Contact Plating** | Gold over Nickel | --- ### Key Electronic & Mechanical Components #### 1. The Y-Con Connector System The "RJ2S" designation refers to the specific housing style. Unlike consumer plastic clips, this system uses: * **Integrated Power Contacts:** The Y-Con system is unique because it allows for **2 additional power contacts** (fully integrated) alongside the 8 Ethernet pins, supporting up to 2.1A. * **EMI Shielding:** The metal casing provides 360° shielding to prevent data loss in factory settings with high electromagnetic interference. #### 2. High-Flex PUR Cable The "CU" and "2000" in the part number denote the copper construction and the 2-meter length. * **Oil Resistance:** The PUR jacket is resistant to mineral oils and cooling lubricants. * **Flexibility:** Designed for "Drag Chain" applications where the cable is constantly moving on a robotic arm or CNC axis. #### 3. Environmental Protection (IP Rating) When used with the corresponding Y-Con mating housing: * **IP20:** Basic protection (indoor). * **IP67/68/69K:** Total protection against dust and high-pressure water jets, depending on the outer shell used. --- ### Typical Applications * **Industrial Automation:** Connecting PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to HMIs. * **Robotics:** Wiring for motion control systems requiring high-flex cycles. * **Vision Systems:** High-speed data transfer for industrial cameras. ---
