Simplified Model Code Interpretation
- RCK-TWUM/RCK-TGUM: Product sub-series (industrial-grade sensor/actuator cables)
- BLxx+3/BLxx: Core configuration (BL16+3=16 signal cores + 3 power cores; BL12=12 integrated cores)
- xx,0m: Cable length (e.g., 15,5PUR-U = 15.5m length)
- PUR-U: Sheath material (Polyurethane, oil-resistant, wear-resistant, flexible)
- UX: Special-purpose variant (optimized for specific installation scenarios)
Core Specifications (Unified for Series)

Key Advantages
- Durable PUR-U Sheath: Resists oil, abrasion, and harsh chemicals, extending service life in factory environments.
- Flexible Core Configurations: BL16+3 (multi-signal+power) and BL12 (standard) cover diverse device wiring needs.
- Wide Length Range: 5.0m~30.0m options fit short-distance cabinet links to long-distance field deployments.
- Industrial Compatibility: Tinned copper conductors and stable transmission match Phoenix sensors/actuators and standard industrial devices.
- Easy Installation: Flexible bending and lightweight design simplify routing in tight spaces.
Important Notes:
- Core Matching: Choose BL16+3 for devices needing separate signal and power lines; BL12 for integrated 12-channel wiring.
- Length Selection: Add 10% length margin to account for routing bends (e.g., required 4.5m → select 5.0m).
- UX Models: Use for special scenarios (e.g., extreme bending, high-abrasion areas) as specified by device requirements.
- Connector Pairing: Pair with Phoenix SUBCON series connectors for IP67 protection and reliable connections.
