3. Function and Product Positioning

Core Functions

• Dual Power & Signal Transmission: Carries 24 VDC power (up to 3 A) for HMI operation plus bidirectional SDL video/touch signals in one cable

• 30-Meter Stable Reach: Optimized for 30-meter runs with no signal degradation; eliminates need for active extenders in standard setups

• Shielded Signal Integrity: Braided overall shield reduces EMI/RFI interference, ensuring crisp 1080p video and responsive touch input

• Rugged Industrial Durability: TPU jacket and reinforced connectors withstand oil, abrasion, and dynamic bending in moving machine parts

• Plug-and-Play Installation: Pre-terminated SDL connectors enable direct connection to B&R HMIs/PCs; no wiring or configuration required

Operational Features

• Unified Cabling: Reduces installation time and cost by combining power and signal lines; minimizes cable clutter in control panels

• Gold-Plated Contacts: Ensures reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term use (≥100 mating cycles)

• Strain Relief Design: Overmolded connector ends prevent cable pull-out and damage under tension

• Maintenance-Free: No moving parts; requires only periodic visual inspection for wear or connector damage

• Wide Compatibility: Works with all B&R SDL-equipped HMIs and controllers; ideal for standard 30-meter HMI deployments
