The Omron XS6W-6PUR8SS100CM-BF Industrial Ethernet Patch Cable is intended for short-distance Industrial Ethernet connections where dependable signal transmission and compact cable routing are required. Its 1-meter length makes it suitable for communication between devices mounted within the same control cabinet or machine frame. Designed with Cat.6A performance and S/FTP shielding, the cable supports stable network communication while reducing the influence of electromagnetic interference commonly found in industrial environments.
Technical Description
The Omron XS6W-6PUR8SS100CM-BF Industrial Ethernet Patch Cable features an S/FTP shielded construction with straight RJ45 connectors on both ends. The PUR outer jacket provides resistance to abrasion and repeated flexing, making it suitable for industrial installations where cables are exposed to continuous maintenance or machine vibration.
The cable is specified with Cat.6A transmission performance, a 6.5 mm outer diameter, IP20 protection, a rated voltage of 30 VDC, and a rated current of 1 A at 50°C. Its compact 1-meter length helps reduce excess cable inside control panels while maintaining organized network layouts.
Operating Principle
Industrial Ethernet cables provide the physical communication path between Ethernet-enabled automation devices. Balanced twisted pairs transmit high-speed digital signals, while the individual foil shields and braided overall shield reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference.
The Omron XS6W-6PUR8SS100CM-BF Industrial Ethernet Patch Cable enables reliable communication between PLCs, industrial switches, HMIs, IPCs, and other Ethernet devices without requiring active signal conditioning.
