Siemens 6ES5734-1BD20 Plug-in Cable

This Siemens plug-in cable establishes a reliable connection between S5 peripheral devices and central units. The Siemens 6ES5734-1BD20 links analog input modules directly to signal conditioning equipment. Its flexible construction simplifies routing through cabinets and cable ducts. This cable suits both permanent installations and temporary service connections. The Siemens 6ES5734-1BD20 maintains signal integrity over its full operating length. Its design reduces installation time with pre-assembled connectors on both ends.

Connector Types and Physical Specifications

This cable features a 25-pin D-sub connector at one end. The opposite end terminates with a 15-pin D-sub connector for module interfacing. Its overall length measures exactly 2 meters for flexible positioning. The outer diameter reaches 7 mm with a durable PVC jacket. This assembly weighs approximately 0.2 kilograms for easy handling. The Siemens 6ES5734-1BD20 uses 18 individually insulated conductors within the cable. Each conductor features a cross-section of 0.14 mm² for reliable signal transmission.

Shielding and Electrical Characteristics

A foil shield wraps around the internal conductor bundle for noise rejection. This shield provides 100% coverage for complete electromagnetic protection. The cable’s characteristic impedance stabilizes at 75 ohms for matched transmission. Maximum operating voltage reaches 250 V AC without insulation breakdown. Insulation resistance exceeds 20 MΩ per kilometer at standard room temperature. The Siemens 6ES5734-1BD20 exhibits a capacitance of roughly 80 pF per meter. Its conductor resistance stays below 135 Ω per kilometer for efficient operation.

Temperature Range and Mechanical Durability

This cable operates reliably between -10°C and 70°C in normal conditions. It withstands exposure to mineral oils and hydraulic fluids without degradation. The PVC jacket resists abrasion for long service life in cabinets. Bending radius should not fall below 12 times the cable diameter. This cable maintains performance after 3 million flexing cycles at 90 degrees.

Application and Connection Guidelines

Use this cable for connecting analog input modules to remote signal sources. It also interfaces with distributed I/O units in larger automation networks. Route the cable away from high-power lines to prevent induced noise. Secure the cable using plastic ties every 30 centimeters along its path. The Siemens 6ES5734-1BD20 supports voltage signals from 0 to 10 V DC. It also handles current signals ranging from 0 to 20 mA without attenuation. Connect the shielding at both ends for maximum interference suppression. Always power down equipment before connecting or disconnecting the cable ends.
