Siemens 6ES5733-2BD20 Connect. Cable

Engineered for SIMATIC S5 Module Interconnection

This cable provides secure signal transmission between S5 modules. It connects various components for the Siemens 6ES5733-2BD20 assembly. You will find this cable in SIMATIC S5 programmable controller systems. Unlike standard ribbon cables, this version uses fully shielded construction. It maintains signal integrity across the entire cable length.

Functional Architecture and Signal Routing

This cable transfers parallel signals between backplane and expansion units. It uses 20 independent conductors for data and power transmission. You cannot extend the cable beyond 3 meters total length. Moreover, the cable includes a foil shield around all conductors. This component blocks external electromagnetic interference effectively. Consequently, the cable delivers clean signals in electrically noisy environments.

Installation and Operational Guidelines

The Siemens 6ES5733-2BD20 maintains signal quality up to 50°C ambient. It introduces less than 1 nanosecond of skew between conductors. You must align the keyed connector with the socket notch. Always secure both ends with locking latches. This practice prevents accidental disconnection during vibration. Furthermore, the cable supports continuous flexing for cable tray routing. This feature allows installation in moving machine sections.

Physical Characteristics and Environmental Limits

This connecting cable has a gray PVC outer jacket. Its 24 AWG stranded wires provide excellent flexibility. The layout follows Siemens standard S5 interconnection specifications. Therefore, it fits any 20-pin S5 module interface. The cable requires a 50mm minimum bend radius. In addition, it maintains stable operation between 0°C and 60°C ambient temperature. You can store this cable safely between -25°C and 70°C.
