aag_03 Posts: 84 Rating: (2)	Hello, dear experts! Our distributed configuration of S5-135U PLC uses modules IM-304/IM314 and 6es5 721-0DD50 cable (aprox. 400m length). The cable was damaged by the fire. We repaired it by soldering wires of the cable. This is a temporary solution and we want to replace damaged cable. So I have the following questions: 1. Can we use several foiled LAN cables orseveral shielded phone cables instead of one 6es5 721-0DD50 cable? 2. Where can I find technical specifications of the 6es5 721-0xxx0 cable? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier Attachment C:\Users\chard2\Pictures\Pin assignment of 721 cable.jpg (306 Downloads)

aag_03 Posts: 84 Rating: (2)	dchartier! Thank you very much for fast reply This will help!!! But I still need any information about technical specifications of the 6ES5 721-0 cable: run (lay) length, number of twists per length unit, impedance, inductance, capacitance etc. The issue is in the following: we can't buy or order this cable, and we should find some solution how to replace it with other cables (not 6ES5 721-0 type). May be you know where can I find Catalog ST54.1? I also need it. Best regards!

Maybe you can still purchase that cable though, as it is still in cacellation phase (until Oct. 1, 2020, as far as trhe spare parts application is concerned), and there is a link to spare parts investigationt for them; see the following link: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/17322403 That would be a good place to start your search. Now catalog ST 54.1 is listed as dating from around 1992, and I see no electronic version for it.The best I cansuggest is you try contacting a Siemens Distributor (if you work in America) or rep. and ask if they still have a (dusty) copy on the shelves. Don't worry, they should still have a decent sens of humor... Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

aag_03 Posts: 84 Rating: (2)	Dear, dchartier! Thank you very much for such helpful information. Now we know exactly that we can order a new cable. And one more question: is this cabledelivered already with 50-pin connectors or not? Because I can't find any order information about these 50-pin connectors and how can I buy them? Best regards.

Try this website to get pricing and contact information for Siemens Automationspares: https://b2b-extern.automation.siemens.com/spares_on_web(bD1lbiZjPTA4MCZkPW1pbg==)/default.htm Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier
