Industry Applications

In automated production lines, the TSXCANCB50 connects PLCs, drives, I/O modules, and sensors over a CANopen network. Its 50-meter length suits medium-sized machinery or conveyor systems where devices are spread across a cell. For retrofitting older CANopen installations, this cable offers a direct replacement that maintains compliance with UL and CE requirements.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the cable away from high-voltage power lines to avoid electromagnetic interference. Use proper strain relief at connection points to protect the conductors. Verify that your CANopen master and slave devices support the same baud rate as the network design. The IP20 rating means you should install it inside a cabinet or protected area.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the cable jacket for cuts or abrasions, especially near connector ends. Keep the cable free from excessive bending or tension. The IEC 60332-2 flame retardancy adds a layer of safety in case of electrical faults. With proper care, this cable provides long-term, reliable signal transmission.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, confirm that your network requires a 50-meter CANopen cable and that the connectors (sold separately) match your devices. The TSXCANCB50 is a standard cable without pre-terminated connectors – you will need to add appropriate CANopen connectors.
