Omron XS5W-T421-DM1-K Industrial Ethernet Cable

The Omron XS5W-T421-DM1-K Industrial Ethernet Cable is intended for dependable data communication within industrial Ethernet networks. Designed for factory automation environments, it combines Cat5e transmission performance with a shielded cable structure that helps maintain signal integrity in locations where electrical noise is present. The 3-meter length provides additional routing flexibility for installations where controllers and field devices are separated by a greater distance.

Technical Description

The cable is equipped with straight RJ45 connectors at both ends and is suitable for connecting Ethernet-enabled automation equipment. Its SF/UTP shielding reduces the influence of electromagnetic interference generated by nearby industrial machinery, while the PVC outer jacket provides mechanical protection during installation and normal operation.

The Omron XS5W-T421-DM1-K Industrial Ethernet Cable supports Cat5e communication requirements and can be integrated into Ethernet-based control systems using compatible industrial networking equipment.

Working Principle

Data transmission is achieved through four twisted conductor pairs that meet Cat5e communication standards. The shielded construction minimizes external electrical interference, supporting reliable communication between controllers, industrial switches, HMIs, industrial PCs, and distributed automation devices.

Standard RJ45 connectors simplify installation and replacement while maintaining compatibility with common Industrial Ethernet infrastructure.

Typical Applications

• PLC communication networks
• Industrial Ethernet switches
• HMI connections
• Industrial PC networking
• Machine control systems
• Vision inspection equipment
• Production line communication
