Schneider TSXCANCD100 CANopen Cable – 100m Harsh Environment IP20

Product Overview

When your CANopen bus network demands reliable communication in demanding conditions, the Schneider TSXCANCD100 delivers a robust solution. This CANopen cable is specifically designed for harsh environments, providing a 100-meter connection with IP20 protection. As part of the CANopen range, it ensures seamless integration into your industrial automation system. Whether you are upgrading an existing line or building a new installation, the TSXCANCD100 offers the durability and performance you need for consistent data transmission.

Technical Specifications

The TSXCANCD100 is built for tough industrial settings. Key specifications include:

Cable Length: 328.08 ft (100 m) – provides ample reach for connecting distributed devices across your facility.

IP Degree of Protection: IP20 – guards against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm, suitable for indoor control cabinets and protected areas.

Marking: CE – complies with European health, safety, and environmental standards.

Product Weight: 17.13 lb(US) (7.77 kg) – robust construction without excessive heft.

Country of Origin: IT – manufactured in Italy to Schneider quality standards.

These parameters ensure the cable meets the physical and electrical demands of a CANopen network while withstanding vibration, dust, and temperature variations typical of factory floors.

Industry Applications

The TSXCANCD100 excels in applications where cable integrity is critical. Use it in:

Automotive Assembly Lines: Connect sensors, actuators, and controllers across long distances while resisting oil, coolant, and mechanical stress.

Material Handling Systems: Reliable data transfer between conveyors, sorters, and PLCs in dusty or humid environments.

Machine Tool Integration: Maintain communication integrity between CNC controllers and peripheral devices despite vibration and electrical noise.

By choosing this cable, you reduce downtime caused by signal degradation or physical damage.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Installing the TSXCANCD100 is straightforward. Follow these best practices:

Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines to avoid electromagnetic interference.

Secure the cable using appropriate cable ties or clamps every 1–2 meters to prevent stress on connectors.

Ensure the IP20-rated connectors are placed inside a clean, dry enclosure – not exposed to liquids or heavy dust.

Verify the total bus length (including all segments) does not exceed the CANopen standard limit for your baud rate.

For optimal performance, terminate both ends of the CANopen bus with 120-ohm resistors (not included).

Maintenance & Reliability

To maximize the service life of your TSXCANCD100:

Inspect the cable jacket periodically for cuts, abrasions, or chemical exposure.

Check connector tightness during routine maintenance – loose connections introduce reflections and data errors.

Keep the cable within its rated temperature range; avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius.

With proper care, this cable delivers years of reliable service, reducing total cost of ownership.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the TSXCANCD100, confirm your system requirements:

Verify that your devices support CANopen communication protocol.

Measure the exact distance between your bus master and farthest node – the 100 m length covers most medium-sized installations.

Ensure your environment does not exceed IP20 protection – for wet or outdoor areas, consider an IP67-rated cable.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

If you experience communication errors after installation:

Check that both bus ends have termination resistors properly installed.

Verify the cable is not damaged – look for cuts or crushed sections.

Confirm that the total bus length (including stubs) does not exceed the maximum allowed for your baud rate.

Ensure all connectors are fully seated and locked.

The TSXCANCD100 is designed to minimize these issues, but proper installation is key to trouble-free operation.
