Omron XS5W-T422-CMC-K Industrial Ethernet Cable

The Omron XS5W-T422-CMC-K Industrial Ethernet Cable is intended for Ethernet communication between industrial field devices equipped with an M12 interface and network equipment using a standard RJ45 connection. Its one-meter length offers additional routing flexibility compared with shorter cable variants while maintaining organized cable management inside machinery and control cabinets. The cable incorporates Cat5e transmission characteristics and an SF/UTP shielded construction to support stable communication in electrically demanding industrial environments.

Technical Description

The Omron XS5W-T422-CMC-K Industrial Ethernet Cable combines a right-angle M12 Smartclick connector with a straight RJ45 connector, enabling efficient integration between industrial automation equipment and Ethernet infrastructure. The Smartclick locking mechanism allows secure installation while simplifying connector engagement during assembly and maintenance.

The cable uses a PVC outer jacket that protects the internal conductors against mechanical wear encountered in fixed industrial installations. Its shielded SF/UTP construction helps minimize the influence of electromagnetic interference generated by nearby industrial equipment, contributing to consistent network performance.

Working Principle

Industrial Ethernet communication depends on high-quality physical transmission media capable of maintaining signal integrity between controllers, field devices, industrial switches, and supervisory systems. The Omron XS5W-T422-CMC-K Industrial Ethernet Cable transfers Ethernet data through shielded twisted-pair conductors designed according to Cat5e requirements.

The M12 connector establishes a secure connection at the machine level, while the RJ45 connector interfaces with industrial switches, PLC communication ports, or industrial computers. The shielding structure reduces the impact of electrical noise that may otherwise affect communication reliability within automated production facilities.
