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 6ES7960-1BC00-5AA5 is a 2 m fiber-optic sync cable for the SIMATIC S7-1500H redundant PLC system, fitted with LC connectors at both ends. It carries the synchronization link between the two H-system CPUs so their process images stay aligned and a failover happens without a bump. At 46 g it sits between the 1 m and 10 m cables in the S7-1500H sync cable range.
Pick the 2 m cable when the two H-system CPUs are one or two cabinets apart; the fiber run must clear the physical gap between the sync ports with enough slack for routing, not just the straight-line distance. For CPUs in the same cabinet row, the shorter 1 m cable avoids excess slack; for greater separation, step up to the 10 m version in the same range.
