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 6ES7960-1AA04-5KA0 is a fiber-optic (FOC) patch cable for the SIMATIC S7-400H fault-tolerant CPU, supplied in a 10 m length. It links the two synchronization modules that keep a redundant S7-400H CPU pair's memory and process image in step. At 156 g, it is the long-distance patch option for racks separated by several meters, such as adjacent cabinet rows.
Choose this 10 m cable as the longest patch-cable option for racks mounted several meters apart; for runs longer than 10 m, the routed-cable synchronization module rather than a patch cable is the correct path. For racks in the same or an adjacent cabinet, the 1 m or 2 m cable is the shorter, less bulky fit.
