Using third-party cables with plug connectors

If third-party cables are used – even if these cables are technically equivalent – SEW‑EURODRIVE will not accept any liability and cannot guarantee compliance with unit properties or that the unit will function correctly.

If you use third-party cables for connecting the device and connected components, ensure their compliance with applicable national regulations. Note that the technical features of the device or unit network might be affected inadvertently when using third-party cables. This concerns in particular the following properties:

• Mechanical properties (e.g. IP degree of protection, cable carrier suitability)
• Chemical properties (e.g. silicone and halogen free, resistance to substances)
• Thermal properties (e.g. thermal stability, increase in device temperature, flammability class)
• EMC behavior (such as interference emission limit values, compliance with interference immunity values stipulated in standards)
• Functional safety (approvals according to EN ISO 13849-1)

Third-party cables not explicitly recommended by SEW‑EURODRIVE must meet at least the requirements of the following standards and have been permitted according to these plug connector standards:

• IEC 60309
• IEC 61984
