Beckhoff Automation ZK1090-3161-3030 EtherCAT Cable

Beckhoff ZK1090-3161-3030 is a pre-assembled EtherCAT cable featuring an M12 male straight connector on one end and an M8 male straight connector on the other, provided at a fixed 3.0 m length for reliable, ready-to-use network wiring. Built with AWG26 conductors and a PVC outer jacket, this 4-pin, A-coded pair is designed for direct use in Beckhoff EtherCAT installations where M12-to-M8 connectivity is required, simplifying machine-to-controller or device-to-device links without custom assembly. The ZK1090-3161-3xxx family specifies fixed-installation cables, and the 3030 suffix denotes the exact 3.0 m length, ensuring consistent performance and easy planning in panel or on-machine layouts. Ideal for connecting Beckhoff I/O modules, sensors, and actuators that employ M12 and M8 interfaces, this cable provides a compact, robust solution that minimizes cabling complexity while maintaining the integrity of the EtherCAT signal in industrial environments.
