Omron XS5H-T422-BM0-K Industrial Ethernet Cable

The Omron XS5H-T422-BM0-K Industrial Ethernet Cable is developed for Industrial Ethernet installations where installation space is limited and a right-angle connector provides a more practical cable routing solution. Featuring a factory-mounted M12 Smartclick right-angle plug and open wire ends, this cable simplifies integration between Ethernet-enabled field devices and electrical control panels.

The Omron XS5H-T422-BM0-K Industrial Ethernet Cable combines Cat5e communication performance with an SF/UTP shielded construction, helping maintain reliable data transmission in electrically demanding industrial environments.

Technical Description

This model is part of the Omron XS5 Industrial Ethernet cable family. It uses a Cat5e SF/UTP shielded cable enclosed in a durable PVC jacket. One end incorporates an M12 Smartclick right-angle connector, while the opposite end consists of open conductors for direct field termination. Its compact 2-meter length is suitable for short-distance connections inside machinery and control cabinets.

Working Principle

The cable transfers Industrial Ethernet communication between controllers, industrial switches, remote I/O modules, HMIs, drives, and network-enabled automation devices. The shielding structure reduces the effects of electromagnetic interference generated by nearby industrial equipment, helping maintain communication stability.

The right-angle connector reduces cable bending stress and allows installation in confined spaces where straight connectors may not be practical.

Typical Applications

• PLC communication networks
• Industrial control panels
• Machine-mounted Ethernet devices
• Distributed I/O systems
• Packaging machinery
• Assembly equipment
• Industrial communication cabinets
• Factory automation systems

Industrial Application Examples

Compact Machine Design

Modern production equipment often provides limited clearance around communication ports. The right-angle connector helps route the cable neatly while reducing mechanical strain on the connector interface.

Control Cabinet Installation

Inside electrical enclosures, space optimization is important. A right-angle M12 connector supports organized cable management while allowing direct termination at terminal blocks or communication modules.

Automated Inspection Stations

Vision systems and inspection equipment frequently require reliable Ethernet communication within compact machine frames. This cable enables efficient integration between field devices and centralized controllers.

Advantages

• M12 Smartclick right-angle connector
• Cat5e Industrial Ethernet performance
• SF/UTP shielding for improved EMC resistance
• Open wire end for flexible installation
• Compact 2-meter cable length
• PVC outer jacket for industrial environments
• Blue cable identification for Ethernet networks

Things to Consider During Product Selection

When selecting an Industrial Ethernet cable, consider connector orientation, installation space, cable routing, shielding requirements, and communication network architecture. A right-angle connector is particularly beneficial where equipment layout limits cable clearance.

This model is designed for fixed industrial installations and is not specified for applications involving continuous cable movement or robotic operation.
