6FX5002-2CF02-1AF0 | Siemens Signal Cable — Prefabricated / Shielded / Standard / 5m / Motion Control Drives / MC/HP GMC

Pre-Fabricated Signal Cable for SINAMICS Motion Control

The 6FX5002-2CF02-1AF0 is a pre-fabricated (PREFAB), shielded signal cable from Siemens' 6FX5002 MOTION-CONNECT range — classified as a standard (STD) shielded signal cable for motion control drive applications. The 5m length (1AF0 suffix) covers medium-distance cable runs from the servo drive module to the motor.

Within Siemens' cable ordering system, the designation MC/HP - CABLES GMC identifies this as part of the Motion Control / High Performance cables for GMC (General Motion Control) — the product family serving SINAMICS S120, S110, and related drive systems with SIMOTICS servo motors.

Key Product Information

Pre-Fabricated Construction — Factory Quality, Immediate Installation

"PREFAB" confirms the 6FX5002-2CF02-1AF0 arrives fully pre-assembled with connectors already fitted at both ends:

Consistent quality: Factory-fitted connectors are assembled and tested under controlled conditions — eliminating the variability of field connector assembly, where incorrect crimping, inadequate shielding termination, or misrouted conductors can degrade signal performance.

Immediate installation: No tools for connector assembly required at the machine. The cable arrives ready to plug in — reducing machine commissioning time and maintenance downtime.

Warranty-compliant assembly: SINAMICS drive system commissioning in warranty configurations typically specifies the use of Siemens MOTION-CONNECT pre-assembled cables — ensuring the drive-motor cable interface meets Siemens' electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) specifications.

Applications

SINAMICS servo drive systems: Motor encoder feedback cabling for SINAMICS S120 and S110 drive systems connecting to SIMOTICS servo motors — the primary drive platform for Siemens motion control in machine tools and industrial automation.

SINUMERIK CNC machine tools: Signal cables for CNC machining centres, turning centres, grinding machines, and multi-axis machining equipment using Siemens CNC and drive systems.

Machine tool spindle and axis drives: Both main spindle encoder feedback and axis servo encoder feedback for machining centres and turning centres.

Packaging and converting machinery: SINAMICS servo drive systems for web handling, label application, folding, filling, and sealing machines.

Intralogistics and material handling: SINAMICS-controlled conveyor systems, sorting equipment, and automated storage systems requiring servo encoder feedback cables.

Printing and paper processing: Servo-controlled printing press axis drives, paper roll handling, and web tension control systems.

FAQ

Q1: What encoder types does 6FX5002-2CF02 connect to?

The CF02 designation within the 6FX5002-2 signal cable range corresponds to a specific encoder connector type for resolver-in-motor (AH20) or similar feedback systems on SIMOTICS motors. Confirm the exact encoder interface from the Siemens MOTION-CONNECT cable configuration tool or cable selection table in the SINAMICS S120 commissioning manual — the full 6FX5002-2CF02 specification identifies the connector pin assignment and compatible encoder/motor types.

Q2: What is the relationship between 6FX5002-2CF02-1AF0 and 6FX5002-2CF02-1AG0?

The only difference is the cable length — 1AF0 = 5m; 1AG0 = 7m. All other construction details (connector type, conductor configuration, shielding, outer mantle) are identical. Select the correct length suffix based on the actual cable run distance from drive to motor, adding reasonable routing allowance.

Q3: Does 6FX5002-2CF02-1AF0 qualify for use in SINAMICS S120 warranty installations?

Siemens MOTION-CONNECT cables are the specified cable system for SINAMICS S120 drive-motor connections. Using 6FX5002 MOTION-CONNECT pre-fabricated cables ensures EMC compliance with the SINAMICS S120 system's certified installation — which requires correctly shielded and terminated cables to meet CE marking requirements for machinery. Confirm from the SINAMICS S120 hardware installation manual for the specific cable and drive combination.

Q4: Can 6FX5002-2CF02-1AF0 be extended if 5m is insufficient?

Direct extension of pre-fabricated signal cables by adding additional cable length in the signal path is not recommended — it introduces additional connectors and cable joints that increase impedance, add noise pickup points, and can introduce phase shift in encoder signal paths. If a longer cable is required, order the next available length (6FX5002-2CF02-1AG0 = 7m, or longer length variants) as a complete cable, replacing the 5m cable entirely.
