How to Select an Interface Relay for PLC Outputs
A step-by-step guide to matching PLC output type, coil voltage and current, contact rating, and socket style when selecting an interface relay.
The Siemens 6ES7923-0BF00-0CB0 is an unshielded, 16-pole pre-assembled round cable in the SIMATIC TOP Connect system, wiring the front connector module to the connection module on SIMATIC S7-300 / 1500 digital I/O stations. It carries 8 digital channels over 0.14 mm² conductors with IDC connectors at both ends, rated 24 V DC (60 V DC maximum), in a 5.0 m length.
This unshielded cable is rated for digital I/O modules only — pick the shielded version in the same family if the front connector module also carries analog channels, since shielding is required there for signal integrity. At 5.0 m, it covers a front-connector-module-to-connection-module run of that distance without the added bulk and weight of the shielded design.

| marketing text | The 16-pin round cable (unshielded) with a length of 5m represents the link between the front connector and connection module. This pre-assembled cable enables a trouble-free and safe signal flow. Even complex installations remain manageable and can be checked in the shortest possible time, which makes maintenance and expansion affordable. This pre-assembled connecting cable is part of the fully modular SIMATIC TOP connect connection for the fastest and safest system cabling. In addition to low wiring costs, error sources in cabling can be significantly reduced. Sensors and actuators from the peripherals are combined with the connection modules of SIMATIC TOP connect and connected to the SIMATIC S7-1500 via cable and front plug-in module. |
