The Siemens 6AV2181-5AF05-0AX0 is a 5 m PROFINET connecting cable for KTP Mobile and KTPX00(F) Mobile panels, rated for a 300 N maximum tensile load between panel and machine. The green-sheathed cable ships with a connection compartment cover, four mounting screws, and a one-screw retainer, and it is halogen-free per EN 50267-2-1 for use in enclosed cabinets.
Pick this 5 m length for panel-to-controller runs inside a single cabinet or short machine base; the 300 N tensile rating and green cable sheath match the full KTP Mobile connecting cable range, so choose a longer variant only when the routing distance between the mobile panel dock and the PROFINET port exceeds this reach.
