Product Title
KUKA 00-166-357 Data Cable | Industrial Y-Con RJ45 Plug | Long-Reach 1100mm Communication Harness for KUKA Robot Controllers
Product Overview
The KUKA 00-166-357 is a high-performance 680mm industrial Ethernet data cable designed for maximum reach within KUKA KR C4 and KR C5 robot controllers. Featuring the precision Y-Con (Yamaichi) RJ45 connector system, this cable is the designated solution for linking distant internal modules or routing data to the cabinet’s external bulkhead. It ensures ultra-stable, high-speed communication for real-time robotic motion control.
Key Engineering Advantages
1. 680mm Maximum Reach for Versatile Layouts
The 0.68-meter length is specifically intended for:
-
Top-to-Bottom Routing: Connecting the PC-Core at the top of the cabinet to I/O modules or safety boards located at the very base.
-
Swing-Frame Compatibility: Providing enough slack for components mounted on hinged panels to open fully without stressing the data connection.
-
Custom Cabinet Configurations: Ideal for extended or non-standard KUKA controller setups where standard cables are too short.
2. Specialized Y-Con Connector Security
The Y-Con system is engineered for the rigors of industrial automation:
-
Anti-Vibration Lock: Unlike standard RJ45s that can wiggle loose, the Y-Con plug features a heavy-duty locking clip that “clicks” into place.
-
360° EMI/RFI Shielding: Full metal-to-metal contact shielding prevents signal interference from the high-power servo drives nearby.
-
Durability: Rated for high mating cycles, making it ideal for systems that require periodic maintenance.
3. Certified Industrial Integrity
-
Real-Time Protocol Support: Fully optimized for EtherCAT, Profinet, and KUKA System Bus (KSB).
-
Environmental Resistance: The high-flex PUR jacket is resistant to oil, industrial lubricants, and the high thermal loads found inside sealed robot cabinets.

Critical Repairs: The ultimate “solve-all” length for replacing any shorter 00-166 series cable during emergency repairs.
Why Choose the 00-166-357?
In complex robotic environments, signal “jitter” can cause catastrophic downtime. The 680mm 00-166-357 provides the professional shielding and length required to route data safely around high-interference zones. Its factory-standard impedance ensures that your robot maintains perfect synchronization with zero packet loss.
