6XV1850-0BN30 30m ITP Standard Cable 9/15

Introduction to the Siemens 6XV1850-0BN30 ITP Standard Cable

This Siemens cable comes with one 9-pole and one 15-pole D-sub connector, saving you time and reducing wiring errors. Its 30-meter length offers flexibility for machine-to-machine or control cabinet connections.

Engineered for harsh industrial environments, the cable features a green PVC sheath and a robust shield design. With flame resistance per IEC 60332-1 and oil resistance per IEC 60811-2-1, it suits demanding factory floors. Whether you are upgrading an existing network or building a new one, this cable provides a reliable physical layer.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

The 6XV1850-0BN30 is more than a simple cable; it is a precision-engineered interconnect. Below are the critical parameters that define its performance:

• Cable type: J-02YSCY 2x2x0.64/1.5 PIMF F GN
• Length: 30 meters (preassembled)
• Connectors: One 9-pole and one 15-pole D-sub
• Number of cores: 4
• Core diameter: 0.64 mm (AWG22)
• Outer diameter: 9.2 mm (cable sheath width)
• Impedance: 100 Ω (1 MHz to 300 MHz)
• Attenuation: 0.057 dB/m at 10 MHz, 0.18 dB/m at 100 MHz, 0.31 dB/m at 300 MHz
• Loop resistance: Max 124 mΩ/m
• Operating voltage: 165 V RMS (max 225 V)
• Temperature range: -40 °C to +70 °C (operation, storage, transport, installation)
• Bending radius: Min 30 mm (single bend), 45 mm (multiple bends)
• Weight: 96 kg/km

One standout feature is the shielding: each core is wrapped in an overlapped aluminum-clad foil, and the whole bundle is covered with a braided shield of tin-plated copper wires. This construction minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity over the 30-meter run.

Applications and Use Cases

In a typical factory, you might use it to link a programmable logic controller (PLC) to an operator panel or to connect a field device to a control cabinet. Because it is preassembled, you can install it quickly without special tooling.

For network architects, the 100 Ω impedance matches standard ITP specifications, making it suitable for Ethernet applications up to 300 MHz. The flame-resistant and oil-resistant jacket adds durability in machine tool environments. Whether you are building a new line or retrofitting an existing one, this cable simplifies the physical layer.

Installation and Setup

Installing the 6XV1850-0BN30 is straightforward because the connectors are already attached. Ensure the cable is routed with a minimum bend radius of 30 mm for a single bend and 45 mm for repeated flexing. Avoid exceeding the maximum tensile load of 80 N during pulling.

When connecting, verify that the 9-pin and 15-pin connectors match your devices. The cable is keyed, so improper insertion is unlikely. For outdoor or washdown areas, note that the protection class is IP20, so protect the connectors from moisture and dust. Always follow standard industrial wiring practices and secure the cable to prevent strain.

Maintenance and Reliability

Because this cable has no active electronics, maintenance is minimal. However, periodic inspection is recommended to check for cuts, abrasions, or connector damage. The PVC sheath resists oil and flame, but mechanical damage can still occur in high-traffic areas.

To maximize service life, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from heat sources above 70 °C. If the cable is exposed to chemicals, verify compatibility, as grease resistance is only conditional. With proper handling, this cable can provide years of trouble-free operation.

Compatibility and Integration

The 6XV1850-0BN30 is designed for Industrial Twisted Pair (ITP) networks, commonly used in Siemens SIMATIC NET environments. It connects terminals with ITP interfaces to active ITP network components. The 9-pin and 15-pin D-sub connectors are standard for ITP, so it works with a wide range of industrial Ethernet devices that support this interface.

If you are integrating this cable into an existing network, ensure your devices have ITP ports. For devices with RJ45 connectors, you may need an adapter (not included). Always verify the pinout of your equipment to avoid miswiring.

Troubleshooting and Common Issues

If you experience network connectivity problems, first check the physical connection. Ensure both D-sub connectors are fully seated and locked. A loose connection can cause intermittent signals.

If the cable is near high-voltage lines, electromagnetic interference may occur. The braided shield helps, but keep the cable at least 20 cm away from power cables. If attenuation is an issue, verify that the total cable length does not exceed the network's maximum segment length. For 100 MHz signals, the cable's attenuation of 0.18 dB/m means a 30-meter run introduces about 5.4 dB loss, which is within typical limits.
