Mechanically, the 6XV1875-5AH50 features a braided shield of tin-plated copper wires, an inner conductor of copper, a polyethylene foam dielectric, and a FRNC cable sheath in pastel turquoise. Outer diameter of the cable sheath is 6.3 mm, with a thickness of 0.76 mm. The cable supports a minimum bending radius of 32 mm for single bends and 45 mm for multiple bends, with a maximum tensile load of 80 N. Weight per length is 75 kg/km.
Industry Applications
The Siemens 6XV1875-5AH50 is ideal for connecting antennas in industrial wireless LAN (IWLAN) and mobile radio systems. Its broad frequency coverage (up to 6 GHz) makes it compatible with modern wireless standards. Use it to link antennas to SCALANCE M/W access points or routers in factory automation, logistics, and transportation environments. The cable’s halogen-free, silicon-free design and IP68 protection (when plugged) ensure safe operation even in harsh conditions, reducing the total cost of ownership through extended service life and minimal maintenance.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Before installation, verify the 6XV1875-5AH50 length (5 m) meets your routing requirements. The flexible cable allows for tight bends, but avoid exceeding the minimum bending radius (32 mm single, 45 mm multiple). Secure the N-Connect connectors by hand-tightening to ensure proper mechanical and electrical connection. For outdoor or wet environments, ensure the connectors are fully mated to maintain IP68 protection. Do not pull the cable with force exceeding 80 N.
Maintenance & Reliability
The Siemens 6XV1875-5AH50 is built for durability. The FRNC sheath resists UV radiation and offers conditional resistance to mineral oil. It operates from -40°C to +80°C during operation, storage, and transport, and from -25°C to +80°C during installation. Regular visual inspection for sheath damage or connector corrosion is recommended, especially in harsh environments. The cable meets UL 1685 and UL 1581 flame resistance standards, enhancing safety. With no moving parts and robust construction, this cable delivers long-term reliability, maximizing ROI by reducing unplanned downtime.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When ordering the Siemens 6XV1875-5AH50, confirm that your devices use N-Connect male connectors. This cable is pre-assembled and ready to use, no additional termination required. For longer runs, multiple cables can be coupled with appropriate adapters (not included). For reliable supply and genuine Siemens products, choose a trusted distributor like PLC Source PRO (available at ubest101.myshopify.com). Ensure your application requires a 5 m length and the specified frequency range before purchasing.
