Which communcation connectors in FX5U network?

5 posts in this topic

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?

Ethernet should use CAT5 cable, which has 8 wires even though only 4 get used.

CC-Link is a dedicated cable.

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.

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.
