What this cable is for
The 6ES7194-2MH50-1AC0: This is a preassembled power cable for the SIMATIC ET 200AL distributed I/O system, designed to deliver 24 V DC to the bus module via a 4-pole M8 female connector at one end. The 5 m fixed length is molded on – no field termination, no cut-to-length option. The other end is unterminated, ready for a field-side power supply connection.
Cable carrier readiness
Rated for 2 million bending cycles in a cable carrier with a bending radius of 51 mm, at 5 m/s and 5 m/s² acceleration. The PUR sheath and PP core insulation keep this cable flexible enough for dynamic applications – small gantries, robot dress packs, or any moving assembly station. The continuous bending radius of 51 mm matches the carrier spec; single bends can go tighter to 26 mm. These numbers are per the Siemens cable carrier test conditions, so expect service life in that ballpark under similar mechanical stress.
Environmental tolerance
The M8 connector end carries an IP65/67 rating, which means it can take washdown spray or dust ingress when properly mated. The cable itself is halogen-free and silicone-free – important if this runs through a food processing area, pharmaceutical clean room, or any zone where corrosive gas or contamination matters. Operating temperature spans -25 to 80 °C, covering the range of a typical IP65 cabinet interior. Assembly temperature is the same range, so you can install it in a cold enclosure without worrying about sheath cracking.
