Siemens 6XV1878-5HE50 SIMATIC NET IE TP Cord M12-180/M12-180 0.5m Industrial Network Cable

The Siemens 6XV1878-5HE50 preassembled IE TP Cord M12-180/M12-180 is a 0.5 m Industrial Ethernet patch cord terminated with two X-coded M12 connectors, built for stations such as SCALANCE W or XP-200. It carries 100 Ω impedance, IP65/IP67 sealing, and PoE/PoE+/PoE++ support across a -30 to +80 °C range, with Cat6A performance in a flexible PUR-jacketed S/FTP construction.

Selection Notes

The 0.5 m cord bridges a slightly wider gap than the 0.3 m version — a typical use is linking a SCALANCE W unit to a nearby junction box or the next DIN-rail position — while adding only marginal attenuation, since 0.28 dB/m at 100 MHz applies equally across the family. Because connector type, shield design, and IP rating are identical across the 0.3 m, 0.5 m, and 1 m variants, base the length choice solely on the measured distance between the two M12 ports rather than on any performance difference.
