■Precautions
• Place the Ethernet cable in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in
damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
• Do not touch the core of the cable-side or module-side connector, and protect it from dirt or dust. If oil from your hand, dirt
or dust is attached to the core, it can increase transmission loss, arising a problem in data link.
• Check that the Ethernet cable is not disconnected or not shorted and there is no problem with the connector connection.
• When connecting the Ethernet cable, refer to the CC-Link IE Field Network Cable Installation Manual available from the
website of CC-Link Partner Association (www.cc-link.org). The cable installation not following the contents of the manual
may cause malfunction.
• Do not use Ethernet cables with broken latches. Doing so may cause the cable to unplug or malfunction.
• Hold the connector part when connecting and disconnecting the Ethernet cable. Pulling the cable connected to the module
may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.
• For connectors without Ethernet cable, attached connector cover should be placed to prevent foreign matter such as dirt or
dust.
• The maximum station-to-station distance of the Ethernet cable is 100m. However, the length may be shorter depending on
the operating environment of the cable. For details, contact your cable manufacturer.
• The bend radius of the Ethernet cable is limited. For details, check the specifications of the Ethernet cable to be used.
