Schneider Electric XBTZ9980 Connecting Cable

Product Description

The Schneider Electric XBTZ9980 is a connecting cable designed specifically for Magelis XBT operator interface terminals. It allows seamless connection between Magelis HMIs and a PC for programming, configuration, and data transfer. With a 2.5-meter (8.2 ft) length, it provides comfortable flexibility during installation and operation. Moreover, its RS485 interface and Modbus serial protocol ensure efficient and stable communication for industrial automation tasks. This accessory supports a wide range of Magelis terminals, offering versatility across multiple automation projects.

In addition, the cable features robust RJ45 connectors on both ends, enabling direct integration with PLCs. Its compact and lightweight design ensures easy handling and long-term reliability in factory environments. Although a legacy accessory, the XBTZ9980 remains essential for existing systems that require RS232/RS485 programming capabilities.
