Installation and Setup
Proper installation of the Siemens 6XV1820-5BH10 prevents signal loss and physical damage. Ensure the cable is routed with a minimum bending radius of 80 mm and avoid sharp bends. The cable can be installed in temperatures from -5 °C to +50 °C. The segmentable outer conductor allows easy splitting for connector termination. Use appropriate strain relief to maintain the 1500 N tensile limit.
Maintenance and Reliability
The Siemens 6XV1820-5BH10 is designed for long-term reliability. It features flame-resistant properties (IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-22 Cat. A) and resistance to UV radiation. The cable is silicon-free and halogen-free, but not resistant to mineral oil or grease. Routine inspection should focus on connector cleanliness and cable sheath integrity. The black PVC sheath provides protection against environmental stress.
Compatibility and Integration
The Siemens 6XV1820-5BH10 supports multiple industrial network standards. Maximum transmission distances include: 4000 m for 100BaseFX, 500 m for 1000BaseSX, 1000 m for 1000BaseLX, and 3000 m for PROFIBUS. This preassembled cable with four BFOC connectors simplifies integration into Siemens and third-party automation systems.
Selection Guide
Before purchasing, verify that the Siemens 6XV1820-5BH10 meets your required length and connector type. The 1 m preassembled cable is ideal for short patch applications. For longer runs, contact our team at PLC Source PRO (ubest101) for custom lengths and additional accessories. Always confirm environmental conditions; the cable is not resistant to mineral oil or grease.
