Physical Characteristics and Construction
This cable weighs approximately 0.45 kg for easy field handling. Its length measures exactly 5.0 meters between connector ends. The outer jacket uses durable PVC material for industrial environments. A braided copper shield surrounds all internal conductors. Consequently, this shielding rejects electromagnetic interference effectively.
Connector Design and Signal Integrity
The 6ES5731-0BF00 features 15-pin D-sub connectors on both ends. Each connector has a metal housing for additional shielding protection. The cable contains 9 twisted pairs of copper conductors. Each pair has a 120 ohm impedance for signal matching. This design maintains clean signal transfer over the full 5-meter length.
Installation and Usage Guidelines
First, power down both connected devices before installing this cable. Then, align the 6ES5731-0BF00 connectors with the appropriate ports. Finally, tighten the thumb screws securely on both ends. Do not run this cable near high-power motor leads. The PVC jacket resists oil and mild chemicals for longer life.
