Product Introduction
When motor encoder signal integrity is critical for precise motion control, the Siemens 6FX8002-2DC10-1FA0 pre-assembled DRIVE-CLiQ cable delivers uncompromised performance. This signal cable integrates a 24 V plug with RJ45 connectors, featuring IP20 protection on the module side and IP67 on the motor side. Part of the MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS series, the 6FX8002-2DC10-1FA0 is released for lengths up to 75 meters, with a maximum outer diameter of 7.1 mm. Its 50-meter standard length makes it ideal for medium-span installations in servo drive and encoder feedback applications.

-
Test voltage (rms) on signal conductors: 500 V
-
Rated voltage UO/U (power conductors) per EN 50395: 30 V
-
Smallest bending radius: 35 mm (fixed), 75 mm (flexible)
-
Maximum traversing velocity: 300 m/min
-
Maximum acceleration (horizontal): 50 m/s²
-
Tensile stress: 50 N/mm² (fixed), 20 N/mm² (flexible)
-
Ambient temperature range: -50 to 80 °C (fixed), -20 to 60 °C (moving)
-
Certifications: UL STYLE 2502, CSA N.210.2-M90, flame resistance per EN 60332-1-1 to 1-3, oil resistance per EN 60811-2-1
These specs confirm the cable withstands harsh industrial environments while maintaining consistent signal transmission.
Installation and Setup Guidance
Installing the Siemens 6FX8002-2DC10-1FA0 requires attention to routing and strain relief. Because the cable is pre-assembled with DRIVE-CLiQ connectors (RJ45 on both ends), no field wiring is needed. Ensure the bending radius does not fall below 35 mm for fixed installations or 75 mm for flexing applications. Use proper cable ties or clamps to manage tensile stress below 50 N/mm². For dynamic cable tracks, limit acceleration to 50 m/s² and traversing speed to 300 m/min to maximize service life.
Maintenance and Reliability
Industrial environments demand durable cables. The Siemens 6FX8002-2DC10-1FA0 uses a PUR jacket (DESINA green RAL 6018) that resists oils and is CFC- and silicone-free. With a rated bending cycle of 10 million flexes, this cable supports high-frequency robotics and linear axes. Regular inspection for cuts or abrasion on the jacket is recommended, especially in high-vibration areas. Store within -20 to 80 °C when not in use.
Compatibility and Integration
This DRIVE-CLiQ cable is designed for Siemens drives and motors equipped with DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces. It connects directly between a drive controller (e.g., SINAMICS S120) and a motor with an encoder. The 24 V plug provides power for encoder electronics. Ensure both the controller and motor support DRIVE-CLiQ communication. The 50-meter length suits distributed drive topologies without signal degradation.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
When ordering the Siemens 6FX8002-2DC10-1FA0, verify required cable length as this variant is 50.0 m. For longer runs (up to 75 m), consider other MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS options. Confirm that your modules use RJ45 connectors and accept 24 V DRIVE-CLiQ signals. For additional support or to check availability, contact your industrial automation supplier, such as ubest101.
