The **Y-CONC-R82CU-RJCU-2000-A** is a high-performance industrial networking cable assembly, typically produced by manufacturers like **Yamaichi Electronics**. It is designed specifically for demanding Industrial Ethernet applications, particularly where circular connectors need to interface with standard RJ45 ports. --- ### 1. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature of the part number reveals its specific electronic and physical characteristics: | Code Segment | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Y-CONC** | Part of the "Y-Con" Series (Industrial Ethernet / RJ45 systems). | | **R82CU** | Circular connector side (usually M12 or Y-Con specific circular shell). | | **RJCU** | Standard RJ45 connector side with industrial grade shielding. | | **2000** | Indicates the cable length (2000mm or 2.0 meters). | | **A** | Revision code or specific wiring pinout configuration. | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Features #### A. The Connector Interfaces * **Industrial Circular End (R82):** Often features a metal or high-grade plastic locking shell to provide IP67/IP68 protection against dust and water ingress. * **RJ45 End (RJCU):** A robust version of the standard Ethernet plug, usually enhanced with additional shielding to reduce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). #### B. Cable Specifications * **Transmission Class:** Designed for **Cat 5e** or **Cat 6** performance, supporting data rates up to 1 Gbps. * **Shielding (S/FTP or SF/UTP):** The assembly utilizes braided and foil shielding to protect data integrity in environments with heavy machinery or high-voltage lines. * **Power over Ethernet (PoE):** These cables are generally capable of carrying power alongside data (PoE/PoE+), provided the gauge (AWG) of the internal copper wires is sufficient. #### C. Physical Durability * **Jacket Material:** Typically uses **PUR (Polyurethane)** or **LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)**, making it resistant to oils, chemicals, and abrasion. * **Temperature Range:** Rated for industrial environments, often ranging from **-20°C to +80°C**. --- ### 3. Technical Specifications Table | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type A** | Y-Con Industrial Circular (M12 style) | | **Connector Type B** | RJ45 (Shielded) | | **Length** | 2.0 Meters | | **Data Rate** | Up to 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) | | **IP Rating** | IP67/68 (Circular side), IP20 (RJ45 side) | | **Wiring Standard** | TIA/EIA-568-B (Commonly) | --- ### 4. Typical Applications 1. **Industrial Automation:** Connecting PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to HMI panels. 2. **Robotics:** Providing high-speed data links in robotic arms where vibration resistance is required. 3. **Vision Systems:** Linking industrial cameras to processing units. 4. **Factory Floor:** Extending network connectivity from sealed enclosures to standard IT switches.
