Siemens 6ES5714-0AF00 Interconnect Cable

This interconnect cable links SIMATIC S5 processors to expansion racks efficiently. It carries both power and communication signals between system components. Therefore, this accessory enables distributed I/O configurations for large automation networks.

Physical Dimensions and Weight Specifications

The Siemens 6ES5714-0AF00 features a flexible PVC outer jacket. Its total length reaches 1.5 meters for connecting adjacent racks. The cable diameter measures approximately 8.5 mm for easy routing. Consequently, technicians can bend this cable around cabinet corners without damage.

Interface Types and Connector Details

The Siemens 6ES5714-0AF00 uses a 20-pin connector at both ends. Each connector features a screw-lock mechanism for vibration-proof attachment. A keyed housing prevents reverse insertion into the rack port. Hence, installation requires no special alignment or adapter cables.

Component Count and Wire Configuration

This cable contains 20 individually insulated copper conductors. Each conductor uses 24 AWG stranded wire for flexibility. You will find an overall foil shield covering all signal wires. A drain wire connects the shield to ground at both connector housings.

Energy Handling and Signal Integrity

The Siemens 6ES5714-0AF00 carries both 5V power and communication signals. It transmits up to 1A of current for remote rack electronics. The foil shield rejects electromagnetic interference from nearby motor cables. Therefore, signal integrity remains strong even in noisy industrial environments.

Operating Conditions and Durability

The cable withstands temperatures from -10°C to 60°C. Its PVC jacket resists oil, grease, and common industrial fluids. Users can flex this cable repeatedly without breaking internal conductors. This durability suits factory floors with frequent cabinet access.
