The Siemens 6GT2891-4FN20 is a high-quality, pre-assembled plug-in or extension cable designed to facilitate the connection between a reader and a communication module. This product is part of the SIMATIC RF family and is particularly suitable for use with the ASM 456, RF160C, RF170C, and RF18XC models.

Crafted for durability and performance, the cable features a robust design with a braided shield made of tin-plated copper wires, ensuring excellent protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable's outer sheath is constructed from PUR (polyurethane), known for its resilience to wear and environmental factors, making it suitable for industrial environments where reliability is paramount.

The cable measures 20 meters in length, providing ample reach for various installation scenarios. It is equipped with M12 connectors (male, 8 pin, straight) and (female, 8 pin, straight), ensuring a secure and stable connection. The cable's electrical properties include an operating voltage of up to 300 V and a loop resistance of 160 mΩ/m, which contributes to its efficient performance.

Mechanically, the cable is designed to withstand demanding conditions, with a bending radius that allows for both single and continuous bending, making it versatile for dynamic applications. It can endure up to 3 million bending cycles, highlighting its longevity and suitability for moving applications.

The Siemens 6GT2891-4FN20 operates effectively within a wide temperature range from -30 to +80 °C, making it a reliable choice for various operational and storage conditions. Its flame-resistant properties according to IEC 60332-1-2 standards add an extra layer of safety to its use.
