MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
The Siemens 6ES5734-5BF00 connects SIMATIC S5 programming devices to PLCs. You can use this cable for uploading and downloading user programs. It links the PG port to the CPU’s programming interface reliably. This accessory suits field commissioning and maintenance tasks.
Technical Specifications and Physical Construction
This plug-in cable measures 2500 mm in total length. Its diameter reaches 6.5 mm for flexible routing. The Siemens 6ES5734-5BF00 weighs approximately 0.25 kilograms. A single shielded twisted-pair core provides all signal transmission. The cable contains no internal connectors or active electronic components. It stores no energy in capacitors or batteries. One 15-pin D-sub connector plugs into the programming device. A second 15-pin D-sub connector attaches to the PLC’s PG port. Two thumbscrews secure each connection against vibration.

Signal Characteristics and Compatibility
The Siemens 6ES5734-5BF00 supports all S5 programming protocols including SINEC L1. It handles data rates up to 9600 baud without signal degradation. The cable’s braided copper shield rejects electromagnetic interference effectively. Consequently, this cable works reliably in industrial environments with motors and drives. Each core uses 28 AWG stranded copper wire for flexibility. The molded strain relief protects the connector solder points from mechanical stress.
Installation and Practical Usage Guidelines
You must align the D-sub connectors carefully before pushing them in. Transitioning to connection, tighten the thumbscrews firmly to prevent accidental disconnection. The cable’s flexible jacket withstands repeated bending during field use. For long-term storage, coil the cable loosely without kinking. Avoid running this cable parallel to high-power motor cables. The operating temperature range spans from -20°C to +70°C reliably.
