Product Title
KUKA 00-166-356 Industrial Data Cable | 890mm Y-Con RJ45 Plug | High-Flex Communication Harness for Robot Controllers
Technical Summary
The KUKA 00-166-356 is a specialized 890mm (0.89m) industrial Ethernet harness designed for seamless data synchronization within KUKA robot control systems. Featuring the ultra-reliable Y-Con (Yamaichi) RJ45 connector system, this cable is the designated solution for medium-to-long distance internal routing where standard 300mm or 600mm cables fall short.
Key Engineering Advantages
1. Precise 890mm Extended Reach
The 890mm length is engineered to solve specific routing challenges in KUKA KR C4 and KR C5 cabinets:
-
Optimal Routing: Perfect for bridging the gap between the PC-Core and peripheral modules (like the CCU or SIB) in extended-height or wide cabinet layouts.
-
Tension-Free Installation: Provides sufficient slack to ensure that the connectors are not under mechanical stress, preventing pin-pull and intermittent signal loss.
2. Industrial Y-Con Connector Technology
Standard RJ45 plugs often fail in high-vibration robotic environments. The 00-166-356 utilizes the Y-Con system which offers:
-
Vibration-Locking Mechanism: A robust clip system that “clicks” into place, ensuring the connection stays seated even during intense motion cycles.
-
360° EMC Shielding: Metal-housed plugs provide superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) from neighboring high-voltage servo cables.
3. Optimized Signal Integrity
-
Real-Time Data Support: Supports the low-latency requirements of EtherCAT, Profinet, and KUKA System Bus (KSB).
-
Industrial Durability: The high-flex jacket is oil-resistant and designed to operate in the high-temperature environment of a sealed industrial controller.

Troubleshooting: Resolving “Bus Interference” or “Slave Not Found” errors caused by over-stretched or unshielded data cables.
Why Choose the 890mm 00-166-356?
In a robotic system, every millisecond counts. The 890mm KUKA 00-166-356 ensures that your data arrives without delay or corruption. Its specific length prevents the “antenna effect” of coiled excess cable while providing enough reach for professional, clean cable management within your KR C4 or KR C5 system.
