Product Overview
The Siemens 6GK1901-1BB20-2AA0 is a pre-assembled Industrial Ethernet FastConnect RJ45 connector designed for 90-degree cable outlet (2x2). This industrial automation module enables quick and reliable field termination of IE FC TP 2x2 cables without special tools, supporting 10/100 Mbit/s networks. With a compact form factor (13.7 x 16 x 42 mm, 35 g) and wide temperature range (-40 to +85°C), it suits harsh industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- FastConnect system: strip and insert – no crimping tools required, reducing installation time by up to 60%.
- 90-degree angled design saves space in cabinets and patch panels.
- Robust metal housing with IP20 protection ensures durability.
- Compliant with RoHS, UL, cULus, and EN 50155 (railway applications).
- Supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) and PoE+ for powered devices.
Industry Applications
Ideal for connecting field devices to PROFINET or Industrial Ethernet networks in manufacturing, process control, and transportation. Typical uses include:
- Linking actuators, sensors, and I/O modules in production lines.
- Upgrading legacy networks to FastConnect for reduced downtime.
- Deploying in rolling stock or wayside systems requiring EN 50155 compliance.
Installation & Setup Guidance
No special tooling needed. Strip 6.5 mm of cable jacket (for 0.33 mm² conductors), insert wires into the color-coded IDC slots, and close the lever. For IE FC TP 2x2 cables, maintain straight alignment. Mount with the 90° outlet facing away from obstructions. Verify contact seating with a simple tug test.
Compatibility & Integration
Works with Siemens IE FC TP 2x2 cables (AWG22) and standard RJ45 patch cords. Compatible with all Industrial Ethernet switches, PLCs (S7 series), and CP modules supporting 10/100BASE-T. Use with SCALANCE X switches for seamless integration.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Verify your cable type: IE FC TP 2x2 only. For 4-pair cables, use the 6GK1901-1BB30-2AA0 variant. Order from ubest101 for genuine Siemens parts with fast shipping. Each order includes 1 connector; check quantity needed for your project.
