What It Is and Where It Fits
The Siemens 6GT2791-1AH30 is a flexible control cable purpose-built for connecting an RTLS4060T transponder to its power supply and sensor inputs. It's a 10-wire cable with a 3 m length, designated LiYY 10x0.34, AWG22, terminated with end sleeves on one end and a Bulgin 400 8-pin female straight connector on the other. This is the specific plug-in cable for the SIMATIC RTLS real-time locating system, carrying 24 V power, CAN bus, and I/O signals to the transponder.
Key Ratings and What They Mean for Your Build
The cable is rated for 300 V under UL Style 2464, meaning it's suitable for the 24 VDC supply and CAN bus levels used in RTLS installations with ample headroom. It carries a UL VW-1 and CSA FT1 flame resistance rating, so it meets the vertical-wire flame test required for equipment installed in plenum or cable-tray environments. The PVC insulation on the individual wires is standard for industrial control cables — flexible enough for routing in cable carriers but not halogen-free (the jacket is PVC, not a low-smoke zero-halogen compound). The cable is resistant to grease and mineral oil, which is a practical advantage in machine-tool or conveyor environments where lubricants are present. It is not resistant to UV radiation, so it should not be exposed to direct sunlight or outdoor UV sources without additional conduit protection. The permissible bend radius is 48.8 mm for a single bend and 98 mm for multiple bends — tight enough for most cabinet routing but not for high-flex continuous-motion applications. Operating, storage, and transport temperature range is -20 to +80 °C, with installation allowed down to -10 °C. This covers most indoor industrial environments but not freezer or high-temp oven zones. The cable is silicon-free, which matters for paint-shop or adhesive-application lines where silicone outgassing can cause surface defects.
Compliance and Documentation
RoHS conformity is confirmed. The cable carries UL Style 2464 listing for 300 V, and the flame test meets UL VW-1 and CSA FT1. The reference code per IEC 81346-2 is WG (cable) or WGB (data cable). For a quality or compliance buyer, the UL listing and RoHS declaration are the key documents to request with the shipment.
