Siemens 6GK5778-1GY00-0AA0 SCALANCE W778-1 M12 802.11n 300 Mbit/s IP65 Industrial WLAN Access Point

The Siemens 6GK5778-1GY00-0AA0 SCALANCE W778-1 M12 is an IWLAN access point with a single 802.11n radio at up to 300 Mbit/s gross, two N-Connect ports for external antennas, and two M12 D-coded 100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports on an integrated PoE switch. It runs from 16.8-31.2 V DC or Power-over-Ethernet, carries an IP65 enclosure for -20 to +60 degrees C, and adds FM Class I Division 2 hazardous-location approval.

Selection Notes

N-Connect antenna ports instead of R-SMA give this M12 variant a more rugged, higher-torque connection for antennas mounted outside a control cabinet, which matters on units that see repeated antenna disconnection during maintenance. IP65 removes the enclosure requirement the RJ45 and M12 W774 models carry, so it can sit directly in the field once cable glands are M12-rated. FM 3611 Class I Division 2 and the UL 61010-2-201 listing carry over from the W774 family, keeping hazardous-area suitability the same across the SCALANCE W7x8 line. Choose the EEC variant instead when the site sees temperatures above +60 degrees C or requires railway EN 50155 approval.
