FAQ

• What is the cable length of the BMXFCW503? 5 meters.
• How many wires does it contain? 40 wires total across two cables.
• Is it compatible with all X80 modules? Designed for I/O modules with 40-way connectors, particularly discrete modules.
• What wire gauge is used? 22 AWG (0.324 mm²).

Installation Guide

1. Identify the correct 40-way connector orientation on the I/O module.
2. Plug the connector firmly into the module terminal.
3. Route the 5 m cable to the field terminal strip or junction box.
4. Terminate the color-coded flying leads according to the wiring diagram (DIN 47100 color code).
5. Secure the cable to avoid mechanical stress on the connector.

Selection Tips

• Use BMXFCW503 when 5 m reach is required between the rack and field terminals.
• Consider shorter (BMXFCW303) or longer (BMXFCW1003) variants based on cabinet layout.
• For shielded requirements, evaluate the corresponding shielded cordset options.
• Ideal for discrete input/output modules on M340 and M580 platforms.
