Product Introduction
When signal degradation threatens wireless communication in industrial environments, the Siemens 6XV1875-5AH20 antenna connection cable provides a robust solution. This pre-assembled N-Connect male/male flexible cable (2 m length) connects SIMATIC NET antennas to SCALANCE M/W devices, supporting IWLAN and mobile radio applications. Its design minimizes insertion losses and ensures consistent RF performance.

These specs guarantee low signal loss across the entire frequency band, making the cable suitable for high‑data‑rate IWLAN networks. The braided shield of tin‑plated copper wires and FRNC jacket provide excellent EMI protection and fire resistance (UL 1685, UL 1581).
Industry Applications
The Siemens 6XV1875-5AH20 excels in factory automation, logistics, and transportation systems. Typical uses include connecting antennas to SCALANCE W access points, bridging RCoax cables, and extending mobile radio coverage in harsh environments. With an IP68 rating (when mated), the cable withstands dust and water ingress, while its UV‑resistant jacket allows reliable outdoor deployment.
Installation & Setup Guidance
For optimal RF performance, follow these guidelines when installing the Siemens 6XV1875-5AH20:
- Maintain bending radii — single bend: ≥32 mm, multiple bends: ≥45 mm — to avoid damaging the inner conductor.
- Use appropriate torque when tightening N‑Connect connectors (typically 2–3 N·m, but verify with connector specifications).
- Route the cable away from high‑voltage lines and sharp edges. The flexible construction simplifies cable management in cabinets and cable trays.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regularly inspect connectors for corrosion and check the cable sheath for cuts or abrasion. The halogen‑free, silicon‑free materials reduce fire risk and comply with RoHS and EAC approvals. The cable operates from -40°C to +80°C during operation, storage, and transport, ensuring long‑term reliability even in extreme conditions.
Selection Guide
Before purchasing, confirm that the cable length (2 m) and connector type (N‑Connect male/male) match your system requirements. The Siemens 6XV1875-5AH20 is ideal for short‑run antenna connections; for longer distances, consider other lengths from the Siemens product family.
