Beckhoff ZK1090-3132-0100 EtherCAT Cable Straight Male Female 4 Pin

Beckhoff ZK1090-3132-0100 is a pre-assembled EtherCAT cable that combines a straight M8 4-pin plug and a straight M8 4-pin receptacle (A-coded) to form a compact, 4-conductor link suitable for short, direct device-to-device connections in automation systems. It uses copper conductors in AWG26 and a polyurethane (PUR) jacket engineered for drag-chain routing, delivering flexibility and durability in dynamic machine environments and enabling reliable signal integrity across EtherCAT networks where space constraints demand compact, rugged cabling. The 0xxx variant designation in the ZK1090-3132 family specifies PUR, drag-chain‑ready construction, distinguishing it from PVC-fixed-installation versions in the 3xxx series, and makes it a practical choice for installations that require repeated bending and movement without sacrificing connection quality. As a Beckhoff pre-assembled cable, it is intended to connect EtherCAT devices with 4-pin M8 connectors—such as sensors, actuators, and I/O modules—while providing plug‑in convenience, consistent mating geometry, and reliable, field-proven performance in industrial environments.
