Omron XS5H-T422-CM0-K Industrial Ethernet Cable

The Omron XS5H-T422-CM0-K Industrial Ethernet Cable is intended for Industrial Ethernet installations that require efficient cable routing in restricted spaces while providing flexibility for custom field wiring. The factory-mounted M12 Smartclick right-angle connector is combined with open wire ends, allowing direct integration into electrical cabinets, industrial control panels, and automation equipment.

The Omron XS5H-T422-CM0-K Industrial Ethernet Cable supports reliable Industrial Ethernet communication through its Cat5e SF/UTP shielded construction. The 5-meter cable length offers an effective balance between installation flexibility and organized cable management, making it suitable for medium-distance machine connections.

Technical Description

This cable is part of Omron’s XS5 Industrial Ethernet cable series and is designed for fixed industrial networking applications. It features a Cat5e SF/UTP shielded cable protected by a durable PVC outer jacket. One end is equipped with a factory-assembled M12 Smartclick right-angle connector, while the opposite end provides open conductors for termination according to the project wiring design.

The 5-meter length accommodates installations where devices are positioned beyond short cabinet connections but do not require extended cable runs.

Working Principle

The cable transmits Industrial Ethernet communication signals between controllers, industrial switches, remote I/O stations, HMIs, servo drives, and other Ethernet-enabled automation devices. The SF/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference generated by motors, inverters, switching power supplies, and other electrical equipment commonly found in industrial environments.

The right-angle M12 connector minimizes cable bending immediately after the connection point, helping simplify installation where equipment is mounted close to machine frames or enclosure walls.
