The **Y-CONC-R406M-RJ2S-2000-A** is a high-performance, industrial-grade cable assembly, primarily used in automation, machine vision, and EtherCAT networking applications. It is part of the **Y-Con** series manufactured by **Yamaichi Electronics**. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Overview This part is essentially a ruggedized RJ45 cable assembly designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | Industrial RJ45 (Y-Con Series) | | **Cable Length** | 2000mm (2 Meters) | | **Shielding** | S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) | | **Number of Pins** | 8 Pins (Standard Ethernet) | | **Protection Class** | IP20 (Base) / Up to IP67 (with specific housing) | | **Category** | Cat 5e / Cat 6 compatible | | **Operating Temp** | -20°C to +80°C | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric code follows Yamaichi’s specific nomenclature for the Y-Con line: * **Y-CON**: The product family (Industrial Ethernet). * **C-R406M**: Refers to the specific RJ45 plug design and molding type. * **RJ2S**: Indicates a shielded RJ45 connector configuration. * **2000**: Specifies the length in millimeters (2.0 meters). * **A**: Revision or specific wiring configuration (Standard TIA-568B). --- ### 3. Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### A. Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Support Unlike standard consumer RJ45 cables, the Y-Con series often includes **additional integrated power contacts**. This allows for the transmission of power (up to 2.1A) alongside the data signal without interfering with the Ethernet transmission. #### B. Industrial Durability * **Vibration Resistance**: Designed to remain connected in high-vibration environments like robotic arms. * **Gold Plating**: The contacts feature high-quality gold plating to prevent oxidation and ensure low contact resistance over thousands of cycles. * **Strain Relief**: Features a robust over-molded strain relief that prevents internal wire breakage from bending. #### C. EMI/EMC Protection The "S" in the code typically refers to **Shielding**. The cable uses a braided shield and foil to protect the signal from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) caused by nearby high-voltage motors or industrial machinery. --- ### 4. Common Applications * **EtherCAT/PROFINET**: High-speed communication between PLCs and sensors. * **Machine Vision**: Connecting industrial cameras to processing units. * **Robotics**: Wiring within cable carriers where high flexibility and durability are required.
