Product Description of 5CASDL.0018-20 SDL Connection Cable

5CASDL.0018-20 is an original SDL (Smart Display Link) dedicated connection cable developed and manufactured by B&R Automation, specially customized for signal transmission between B&R Automation Panel human-machine display terminals and Automation PC industrial controller equipment. This cable adopts integrated double-end connector molding process, targeted for fixed installation layout in industrial automation cabinet and on-site equipment, supporting high-speed uncompressed digital video and auxiliary control signal synchronous transmission, and obtains complete global industrial safety certification to adapt to conventional and hazardous industrial working environments. The suffix "-20" stands for 20-meter nominal overall cable length, belonging to standard fixed wiring SDL cable product series rather than drag-chain flexible type.

The formal part number is 5CASDL.0018-20, the alternative simplified coding is 5CASDL001820 for warehouse management and ordering application. The whole cable outer sheath is solid black with semi-matte finish, marked with standard B&R brand logo, SDL Cable identification and UL certification print information on outer jacket surface. It is original factory standardized finished cable with two different specification connectors pre-installed at both ends without secondary wiring processing on site, and the product is under formal mass production and commercial supply status of B&R official product line.

Core function focuses on realizing SDL bus digital signal transmission between B&R APC series industrial computer host and Automation Panel touch display unit, including DVI-D digital video high-definition image signal and matched auxiliary control line transmission, to build stable host-display data link without additional signal conversion adapter. Positioned as standard matching accessory of B&R HMI and industrial PC system, applicable for fixed wiring inside control cabinet, equipment body fixed routing; it is not recommended for continuous reciprocating bending scenarios such as drag chain, swing arm and mobile equipment wiring, users need to select suffix -03 flexible SDL cable for dynamic laying occasions. Besides standard factory automation matching, it can be used for on-site replacement maintenance of old B&R display connection lines and customized industrial cabinet pre-wiring project matching.

Rated working voltage of the whole cable is less than or equal to 30VDC, complying with UL AWM 20236 specification requirement. Internal conductors adopt two kinds of wire gauges: control signal core uses 24AWG tinned copper conductor, DVI digital data core adopts 26AWG solid copper conductor; the maximum conductor resistance of 26AWG core is controlled below 237Ω per kilometer, minimum insulation resistance reaches 10MΩ per kilometer to guarantee stable low-loss signal transmission. Connector contact pins are fully gold-plated to reduce contact resistance and enhance oxidation resistance, the specified maximum tightening torque of connector positioning fixing screw is 0.5Nm during installation and locking. The single connector can realize more than 200 times of plugging and unplugging operation under normal use environment without performance degradation.

Internal line groups are separately wrapped with aluminum composite foil shielding layer, plus overall full coverage tinned copper braided net total shielding structure, effectively restrain external electromagnetic interference and avoid signal distortion under complex industrial EMC environment. Core wire insulation and outer sheath adopt halogen-free, silicone-free special TMPU environmental protection material, no harmful gas release under high temperature working condition, conforming to industrial environmental protection standard. Nominal outer diameter of cable main body is controlled at 8.6mm with upper tolerance limit 9mm, the whole cable approximate gross weight is calculated based on unit length weight of standard SDL cable specification, matching 20-meter long-distance fixed wiring load requirement.

Certified working ambient temperature range is -20℃ to +80℃ for continuous operation, storage temperature keeps consistent with operating temperature range; storage and transportation environment should avoid long-term ultra-low temperature below minus 25℃ and direct high-temperature baking exceeding 85℃. Pollution degree complies with EN61131-2 standard Pollution Degree 2, suitable for conventional industrial factory environment with small amount of floating dust and non-corrosive gas. Minimum static bending radius for fixed installation is not less than five times of cable outer diameter; the cable has passed fixed position bending cycle test of 100 reciprocating movements under standard bending radius and 20 cycles per minute frequency between ferrite magnetic beads sections, meeting fixed laying mechanical durability standard.

This cable obtains CE conformity certification, cULus general industrial certification with file code E115267, as well as cULus HazLoc hazardous location certification E180196, applicable to Class I Division 2 hazardous working sites with Groups ABCD and T4 temperature grade in North American standard, covering petrochemical, pharmaceutical and flammable gas industrial area wiring occasions. Optional matching accessories include B&R original cable strain relief fixing components, cabinet wiring cable fixing buckle and connector dust protection cap, all matching parts are separately coded in B&R accessory catalog for independent purchase.

Compatible with full range of B&R APC series Automation PC industrial computers including APC620, APC820 host models, and all Automation Panel AP800, AP900 series touch display panels with SDL interface, supporting 15-inch, 19-inch and other mainstream specification B&R industrial touch screen connection matching.

Widely used in automobile manufacturing production line control cabinet, food and beverage automated processing equipment, packaging machinery central control system, metallurgical auxiliary equipment control, water treatment automation cabinet and conventional factory process control system; meanwhile approved for hazardous area fixed wiring of petrochemical, fine chemical production equipment that meets Class I Div2 safety standard requirement.
