Gold-plated contacts and dynamic cable compatibility support dependable long-term performance.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EBC028 provides four M12 connection ports for connecting multiple sensors and actuators through a centralized field connection. This helps reduce complicated cable routing and improves the organization of machine wiring. The compact design can be installed close to field devices. It provides a practical connection solution for industrial automation systems.
The 10 m PUR cable allows the splitter box to be installed at a suitable distance from the main control equipment. This is particularly useful for larger machines and distributed sensor installations. The cable construction is designed for demanding industrial applications. Its flexible characteristics support both fixed and dynamic installations.
The EBC028 features a robust PA housing designed for harsh industrial environments. IP67/IP68 protection helps safeguard the connection system against dust and water exposure. The product is also suitable for applications involving oils and coolants. Its construction supports reliable performance under mechanical stress.
The EBC028 is suitable for drag-chain applications and repeated cable movement. It supports a specified minimum flexible bending radius and high bending-cycle performance. This makes it suitable for moving machinery, automated equipment and machine tools. Correct installation and cable routing help maintain reliable operation.
