Omron XS2W-T421-JM2-SS Industrial Ethernet Cable

The Omron XS2W-T421-JM2-SS Industrial Ethernet Cable is developed for Industrial Ethernet installations requiring secure M12 D-coded connectivity at both ends of the cable assembly. Manufactured with factory-terminated connectors and Cat5e transmission characteristics, this cable supports reliable communication between industrial automation devices while helping maintain network stability in electrically demanding environments. The standard configuration includes a 10-meter shielded cable with straight M12 male connectors and a durable PVC outer sheath.

The Omron XS2W-T421-JM2-SS Industrial Ethernet Cable is intended for communication between PLCs, remote I/O stations, industrial switches, servo controllers, machine modules, and distributed automation equipment using Industrial Ethernet protocols.

Omron XS2W-T421-JM2-SS Technical Description

This model belongs to Omron’s XS2W Industrial Ethernet cable family, designed specifically for Ethernet communication within industrial automation systems. The D-coded M12 connectors provide a secure locking mechanism suitable for applications exposed to vibration, repetitive machine movement, and challenging environmental conditions.

The cable incorporates an SF/UTP shielding structure that reduces the influence of electromagnetic interference generated by nearby electrical equipment. Its 10-meter length provides additional flexibility when connecting devices separated by greater installation distances inside production facilities.

Operating Principle

The cable transfers Ethernet communication signals between compatible Industrial Ethernet devices without modifying network data. Both factory-installed M12 connectors provide consistent electrical performance while reducing installation variability associated with field-assembled connectors.

Shield continuity throughout the cable assembly helps preserve communication quality in environments where motors, inverters, welding equipment, or high-current electrical systems may generate electromagnetic noise.

Omron XS2W-T421-JM2-SS Typical Applications
