Available cables
● Connecting cable/extension cable M12 ↔ M12 for RF200, RF300, RF600, MV400 (and
MV500)
l = 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 20 m, 50 m
Note: The connection to MV500 is possible with the CM adapter cable for MV500
(6GF3500-8BA12).

Maximum cable length of the connecting cables
The RF166C can be operated with every reader configuration with the maximum cable
length of 50 m. In some situations, longer connecting cables up to 1000 m are possible.
Please note that a transfer speed of 115.2 Kbaud can only be guaranteed for a max. cable
length of 700 m and a transmission speed of 921.6 Kbaud only for a max. cable length of
100 m. The current consumption of the connected reader must however be taken into
account. You will find further information in the relevant system manuals.
Joining more than two cables to form a long cable should be avoided due to the additional
contact resistances.
