Siemens 6XV1840-2AH10 SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet Cable
Configured for high-speed fieldbus data transmission in PROFINET Type A fixed industrial installations, the Siemens 6XV1840-2AH10 (6XV1840 Industrial Ethernet Cable) provides direct physical/electrical execution. Designed with a 4-core 2x2 solid copper structure (AWG22), this FastConnect shielded Cat5e cable maintains a characteristic impedance of 100 Ohms across frequencies from 1 to 100 MHz. Double shielding consisting of aluminum foil and a tinned copper braid provides physical protection against field-induced electromagnetic interference across central control networks.

Siemens Control & Bus Architecture Features
Siemens SIMATIC NET cabling platforms rely on Profinet / EtherNet/IP deterministic networks to preserve transmission timing and backplane bus communication velocity Licences across distributed PLC topologies. High I/O density scaling relies on uniform 100 Ohm differential impedance to minimize reflection losses during 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet transmission. Furthermore, firmware flash compatibility inside SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500, and ET 200 communication processors guarantees continuous link status diagnostic tracking without experiencing packet frame drops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 6XV1840-2AH10 cable be deployed on high-flex dynamic applications such as drag chains or robotic arms?
A: No. This cable features solid AWG22 copper conductors designed for PROFINET Type A fixed installations. Repeated flexing in drag chains will cause mechanical work hardening and conductor breakage. Continuous-motion applications require Type C trailing cables with stranded conductors.
Q: How does the FastConnect (FC) design accelerate field assembly with RJ45 plugs?
A: The FastConnect structure uses precise outer sheath, shield, and conductor dimensions designed for the Siemens FC Stripping Tool. A single stripping operation strips the outer PVC jacket, foil, and braid shield to exact lengths, allowing direct insertion into FC RJ45 IE plugs without manual shield trimming.
Q: What is the minimum allowable bend radius to prevent impedance shifts along the cable run?
A: For fixed single installation, the minimum bend radius is 19.5 mm. For repeated bending during initial laying, maintain a minimum radius of 49 mm to preserve internal pair geometry and prevent characteristic impedance deviation from the 100 Ohm specification.
Field Installation Guidelines
Prepare cable ends using the Siemens FastConnect stripping tool to strip the green PVC outer sheath and shield braid to correct dimensions in one step. Insert conductors directly into the color-coded guide slots of an Industrial Ethernet FC RJ45 plug or FC M12 connector, and snap the housing closed to establish insulation displacement contact (IDC).
Route the cable through dedicated low-voltage instrument conduits, separated from high-voltage AC motor drives and three-phase power lines. Observe the 19.5 mm minimum static bend radius during cabinet installation. Ground the braided outer shield at both network drop points through 360-degree shield grounding clamps attached to the enclosure DIN rail or grounding bar to divert noise directly to earth.
