Posted 12 Apr 2021 I need to know what kind of connector/cables i can use for my network: Topology, ( all on one switch): * Ethernet: FX5U, GOT, Safety PLC (WS0-GETH00200) * CC-Link: 2X Inverters FR-A840-00023 Does this systeem needs the RJ45 4wired or 8wired cables/connector?

Posted 12 Apr 2021 Ethernet should use CAT5 cable, which has 8 wires even though only 4 get used. CC-Link is a dedicated cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So i gues a Siemens (Profinet) Cat5 cable can be use for ethernet, if only 4 are used? What is special about the CC-Link? ( In a tested i used a Cat5 cable, that workt). But i need to use a connector with a angle, and this is only provided in 4wired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 12 Apr 2021 CC-Link is a specific cable. It's listed in the manuals. As for the specs, I don't have them, haven't touched CC-Link in 8 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
