Festoon Cable 6XV1 830-3GH10

The festoon cable 6XV1 830-3GH10 complies with the specification EN 50170, cable type A, with stranded copper cores (approximately 24 gauge - 19/36) apart from the higher loop resistance.

This difference means a reduced segment length; refer to the table in Chapter 3 “Notes on Configuration”.

With its flexible structure, the festoon cable 6XV1830-3GH10 can be used in festoons with large and small cable loops. The cable carries its own weight but is not suitable for tensile stress > 80 N.

The outer sheath has the identification “SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS RS-485 Festoon Cable 6XV1830-3GH10 * (UL) CMX 75 ° C (SHIELDED) AWG 24” printed on it along with meter markings.

To help to avoid twisting the cable during installation, the outer sheath has a line printed along its full length.

If screw terminals are used, the stranded cores must be fitted with wire-end ferrules (0.25 mm2 complying with DIN 46228).

The bus connector 6ES7 972-0BA30-0XA0 cannot be connected.

The cable is not suitable for use of the FastConnect (FC) stripping tool.
