Siemens 6GT2090-0BE00 – Connection Cable for SIMATIC RF Readers (Reliable Power & I/O for Industrial RFID)

The Siemens 6GT2090-0BE00 is an original SIMATIC RF accessory cable designed for industrial RFID readers—typically the HF families such as SIMATIC RF200 and RF300 (e.g., RF340R / RF350R). From my experience, it’s the safe, hassle-free way to power the reader and carry its I/O signals with proper shielding and robust M12 connectivity. You might notice that it removes the guesswork of custom wiring, which in many cases reduces commissioning time and avoids intermittent EMC issues.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

Key Features

• Genuine Siemens accessory – Ensures electrical pinout and EMC performance match SIMATIC RF readers without rework.
• M12 industrial connectors – Rugged, vibration-tolerant, and easy to service; typically IP67 when properly mated.
• Shielded construction – Helps maintain stable RFID communication and resist noise from drives and contactors.
• Durable jacket (PUR-type behavior) – Withstands oils and common shop-floor chemicals in most cases; good flexibility in cable trays.
• Reader power + I/O in one run – Simplifies wiring of power, trigger, and status signals to the reader.
• Time-saving integration – Pre-terminated ends reduce wiring mistakes and speed up commissioning.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This model is used in production lines and logistics setups where SIMATIC RFID readers are mounted near conveyors, fixtures, or robot cells. It’s particularly common in:

• Automotive body and powertrain lines (workpiece carrier identification, pallet tracking)
• Intralogistics and warehousing (RFID gates, put-to-light stations with HF readers)
• Machine tools and assembly machines (tool ID, fixture verification)
• Electronics production (smart carrier tracking in ESD-sensitive areas)

One thing I appreciate is how stable the read cycles remain when the cable shielding is done right—especially around VFD cabinets and large motors. A maintenance lead told us they swapped a generic lead for this Siemens cable and the random “no read” events simply stopped; that’s not unusual in noisy plants.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability in harsh environments – Shielding and proper connectorization typically cut down on noise-related faults.
• Guaranteed compatibility – Pinout and mechanical fit match Siemens SIMATIC RF readers, avoiding trial-and-error wiring.
• Lower total cost – Reduces commissioning time, rework, and unplanned stops caused by unstable cabling.
• Service-friendly – Quick swap during downtime, with identifiable, standardized connectors.
• Supply assurance – We support short lead times and clear warranty coverage for spares strategy.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet and routing – Use standard industrial enclosures; route away from high-frequency drives when possible.
• Bend radius – Keep a conservative minimum bend radius (often ≥10× cable OD) to prolong cable life.
• Shield grounding – Ensure proper shield termination on the reader/controller side for best EMC performance.
• Connector mating – Tighten M12 connectors to the recommended torque; check sealing if washdown is expected.
• Routine checks – Inspect for nicks, crushed sections, or loose fittings; clean with non-aggressive agents.
• Firmware/Calibration – Not applicable to the cable; maintain reader firmware per Siemens guidelines.

Quality & Certifications

• CE and RoHS compliant accessory
• Manufactured for industrial use with Siemens SIMATIC RF systems
• Warranty support: 365 days (our guarantee on supplied units)
