REXROTH INDRAMAT IKO0985/005.0M Fiber Optic cable INK0435 Sercos 5m

Buy online your REXROTH INDRAMAT IKO0985/005.0M Fiber Optic cable INK0435 Sercos 5m reference IKO0985-5M from our US e-store Cnc-shopping USA, specialist in CNC machine-tools spare parts.

This REXROTH INDRAMAT LWL fiber optic link is used on SERCOS motion networks to connect the CNC control with Indramat servo controllers. The 5 m length suits cabinet-to-machine routing, and the rugged jacket is designed for machine-tool environments where oil, coolant and vibration are routine. It is a practical replacement unit for failed or damaged SERCOS links on Rexroth Indramat systems.

In a SERCOS ring, this cable carries real-time motion commands and feedback between the control and the drive modules. A clean optical path is critical to avoid intermittent bus faults, axis dropouts and ring interruptions. The assembly comes factory-terminated with two connectors for straightforward field replacement and reliable optical attenuation.

Commonly installed with Rexroth Indramat CNC controls and servo platforms using the SERCOS interface, it is suitable for maintenance of legacy Indramat installations as well as retrofit work where the original ring length is around 5 m (approximately 16 ft). Cross-references frequently used in the field include INK0435, 11610152, IKO 11258350 and IKO985 5M. Verify routing length and connector style on your system before ordering.

The RED cable’s 6.0 mm reinforced jacket is oil resistant, flame retardant, halogen-free, UV resistant and waterproof, which helps preserve signal quality in harsh enclosures and along moving carriers. Drag chain suitability supports axis routing where continuous flex and tight radii are present, which is typical on machining centers and CNC lathes.

Reference: IKO0985-5M (IKO0985/005.0M)

Manufacturer: REXROTH INDRAMAT

Product type: INDRAMAT Fiber Optic cable

Main function: Optical link for the SERCOS motion bus between CNC controller and Indramat servo drives

Applications: Machine tools using Rexroth Indramat SERCOS networks for axis control, cabinet-to-axis carriers, retrofit and field replacement

Key technical data: Length 5 m (about 16ft), two factory-terminated connectors, LWL construction with 6.0 mm reinforced jacket, oil resistant, flame retardant, halogen-free, UV resistant, waterproof, drag chain capable. Field references include INK0435, 11610152, IKO 11258350 and IKO985 5M.

Maintenance teams typically deploy this spare to restore communication when the original link shows wear, crushed sections or contamination at the ends. Keeping a 5 m optic in the industrial spare inventory reduces unplanned downtime, especially on lines where SERCOS faults stop production. It also fits preventive replacement plans when cables have exceeded expected flex life.

Each unit is inspected and tested on dedicated optical attenuation test benches by skilled engineers to help ensure stable signal levels on the SERCOS ring. Cables are shipped coiled with protective end caps and industry-standard packaging. Depending on availability, products are commonly dispatched from our Florida warehouse. Standard warranty applies to eligible purchases from Cnc-shopping USA.

For aging Rexroth Indramat controls, this item can serve as an emergency spare or CNC replacement component to keep older machinery productive. Cnc-shopping USA supports sourcing of obsolete parts and can assist with repair service or exchange options when feasible.

Frequently asked questions about IKO0985-5M Optic fiber cable:

Is this cable suitable for drag chain routing on machine axes?
Yes, the 6.0 mm reinforced jacket is rated for drag chain use and resists oil, coolant splash and mechanical abrasion, which helps maintain consistent optical performance over time.

Which systems typically use this 5 m SERCOS link?
It is commonly found on Rexroth Indramat SERCOS-based CNC setups between the control and servo drives, including many DIAX and ECODRIVE installations where a 5 m run fits the machine layout.

What part numbers can be used to cross-check compatibility?
Technicians often reference INK0435, 11610152, IKO 11258350 and IKO985 5M, IKO-985/5M IKO 985/005.0 in addition to the marked IKO0985/005.0M designation. Always confirm length and connector style on your machine before ordering.

What symptoms indicate the original fiber link should be replaced?
Frequent SERCOS ring errors, intermittent bus resets, or axis communication dropouts after cable movement are common signs. Physical damage to the jacket or contaminated terminations also warrant replacement.
