The Siemens 6ES7194-2MN10-0AB0 is a preassembled shielded bus cable terminated with two M8 angled plugs (4-pin, male+ female). Its 10 m length and rugged PUR sheath — green, halogen-free and silicone-free — make it the intended wired link for ET-CONNECTION nodes such as SIMATIC ET 200AL in enclosures rated IP65/67.
Ruggedised for machine-mounted flexing
This cable carries a cable-carrier rating of 1 million bending cycles at a bend radius of 100 mm, 4 m/s travel speed and 4 m/s² acceleration. That puts it squarely into drag-chain territory — not a cable you bend once during installation and never move again, but one designed for continuous flex alongside a moving axis. That covers cold storage warehouses, outdoor conveyor lines, and warm machine cabinets without derating the link. Shielding is overlapped aluminium-clad foil plus a tinned-copper braid — a two-layer construction that handles both radiated and conducted interference common in VFD-heavy panels. Core insulation is PE, colour-coded white, yellow, blue, orange. Outer diameter of the finished cable is 5 mm — slim enough for IP67 M8 connectors and for routing through small cable glands.
Sourcing reality
Because it is a dedicated, pre-terminated assembly — not a generic cut-to-length cable — the 10 m order length is fixed. Make sure your routing path from the ET-CONNECTION tap to the junction fits within that span. The angled M8 connectors (90° cable outlet) help in tight back-of-box or sensor-head layouts.
