Product Description of 5CASDL.0200-20 Universal SDL Connection Cable

5CASDL.0200-20 is original B&R universal-flex SDL interconnection cable specially engineered for signal transmission between B&R APC series industrial Automation PC hosts and AP-series Automation Panel HMI display terminals. The numeric code 0200 refers to factory prefabricated finished cable length of 20 meters, while suffix -20 stands for universal flexible grade that supports both permanent fixed cabinet installation and intermittent dynamic swing or occasional drag chain routing, serving as a middle-tier specification between fixed-only -00 series and continuous heavy-flex -03 series SDL cables. The cable is pre-terminated with factory molded dual-end standard 24+1 pin gold-plated DVI-D male connectors without on-site wiring, soldering or terminal modification, realizing uncompressed high-definition digital video signal and auxiliary control signal synchronous transmission over 20-meter medium-distance wiring layout, fully complying with international industrial electrical safety and environmental protection standards for diversified on-site automation configuration renovation and new project wiring deployment.

Official complete part number is 5CASDL.0200-20, abbreviated coding 5CASDL020020 for order entry, warehouse inventory management and spare parts procurement. Outer insulation jacket adopts matte black modified halogen-free TMPU elastomer material, with continuous surface embossed printing of B&R brand logo, SDL Cable identification, UL AWM specification code, rated temperature and electrical certification parameters. Both cable terminals are equipped with fully pre-assembled metal housing DVI-D male connectors with built-in strain relief structure; finished length tolerance is controlled within ±150mm based on nominal 20-meter dimension, total finished product gross weight is around 3380 grams under factory standard production specification. This model remains in continuous mass production and global regular spare supply within B&R official original accessory catalog.

Core functional objective is constructing lossless SDL bus full-channel digital link between B&R industrial host and matched touch HMI panel, integrating high-speed DVI differential image signal and auxiliary control circuit signal simultaneous transmission without intermediate signal adapter or signal repeater, ensuring complete signal integrity after 20-meter extended wiring layout. Positioned as general-purpose versatile SDL connecting accessory balancing static fixed laying and irregular intermittent dynamic usage scenarios; different from -00 fixed cable exclusively for stationary cabinet internal wiring and -03 heavy-duty flex cable designed for long-term uninterrupted drag chain cyclic bending, the -20 universal specification is developed for semi-mobile operation panels, intermittently swinging arm control boxes and equipment requiring mixed fixed-and-occasional-flex wiring arrangement. It is applicable for brand-new automation system pre-wiring matching as well as on-site old equipment maintenance replacement and production line upgrading reconstruction wiring, capable of substituting fixed specification cables in most static installation environments and replacing heavy-flex cables under low-frequency intermittent dynamic working conditions.

Rated continuous working DC voltage is limited ≤30VDC according to UL AWM 20236 industrial wire standard. Internal conductors adopt tinned stranded flexible copper structure: auxiliary control signal cores apply 24AWG multi-strand copper wire, high-speed differential DVI signal cores use 26AWG fine stranded copper conductor; maximum single-core conductor direct-current resistance is below 237Ω per kilometer, overall cable insulation resistance exceeds 10MΩ per kilometer to guarantee stable low-attenuation signal transmission for full 20-meter rated length range. All connector contact pins adopt full-layer gold plating processing to lower contact impedance and enhance anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion capability; each DVI connector can withstand over 200 times regular plug-in cycles without electrical parameter drift, maximum fastening torque of connector fixing screw during field installation is restricted at 0.5Nm. Internal differential signal pairs maintain fixed characteristic impedance of 100±10Ω to suppress signal reflection, waveform distortion and screen flicker induced by long-distance cable layout and occasional bending deformation.

Every internal high-speed signal wire pair is individually wrapped with aluminum composite foil shielding layer, plus overall high-density tinned copper braided mesh full coverage double shielding structure with braiding coverage rate exceeding 82%, effectively shielding complex industrial site electromagnetic interference from frequency converter, motor and high-power switching equipment to avoid display image distortion under long-distance transmission and intermittent bending conditions. Core insulation and outer sheath are manufactured with silicone-free, halogen-free modified TMPU elastomer material, featuring outstanding low-temperature flexibility, moderate oil resistance and heat stability, conforming to EU RoHS environmental restriction standard with no toxic corrosive gas release under abnormal high-temperature overloading environment. Nominal outer diameter of main cable body is 8.6mm with upper tolerance up to 9mm, internal stranded core layout is structurally optimized to balance static compression resistance and intermittent cyclic bending endurance matching universal -20 grade application requirement.

Applicable continuous working ambient temperature range covers -20℃ to +80℃, identical temperature scope for long-term product storage; storage environment needs to avoid persistent ambient temperature below -25℃ or continuous external heating above 85℃. Pollution classification complies with EN61131-2 standard Pollution Degree 2, suitable for conventional non-corrosive general industrial workshop with minor suspended floating dustB& R Industrial Automation. Minimum static fixed laying bending radius is 5 times cable outer diameter, minimum intermittent dynamic bending radius for short-time swing and occasional drag chain routing is 7 times cable outer diameter; the product has passed standardized hundreds-of-times reciprocating bending durability certification at rated dynamic radius, achieving superior flexible performance compared with fixed -00 series yet lower continuous bending life than heavy-duty -03 flex specification. Maximum allowable continuous running pulling tension is ≤50N, instantaneous peak pulling load during cable installation construction shall not exceed 400N to prevent internal core wire breakage or insulation layer cracking damage.

This SDL cable obtains CE conformity certification, cULus certification with official file number E115267 and North American Class I Division 2 hazardous location certification E180196 complying with ABCD explosion-proof group and T4 temperature grade standard, eligible for wiring installation inside regular industrial workshop and flammable gas hazardous production workshops of petrochemical, pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Optional original matching accessories include B&R dedicated DVI connector dustproof protective caps, cable strain relief fixing brackets and drag chain internal wiring fixing buckles, all auxiliary spare parts possess independent part numbers recorded inside B&R official accessory catalog for separate ordering and procurement.

Fully compatible with full B&R APC series Automation PC industrial computers including mainstream APC620, APC820 product lines, as well as AP800, AP900 full-range Automation Panel SDL interface touch display panels covering mainstream 15-inch and 19-inch screen sizes, completely matching original factory SDL interface definition of B&R HMI and industrial host products.

Widely adopted for semi-mobile operation cabinet signal wiring of automobile assembly auxiliary equipment, intermittently swinging arm control panel connection of packaging and filling machinery, movable detection operation box wiring of food and beverage processing production lines, semi-fixed HMI extended wiring for rubber and plastic forming equipment, auxiliary test trolley layout of metallurgical processing equipment and semi-mobile control cabinet signal connection of water treatment automation systems; also approved for mixed fixed-and-intermittent-flex wiring deployment inside Class I Div2 hazardous production workshops of fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries in accordance with safety certification constraint.
