Overview
The Schneider Electric 490NTW00002U is an Ethernet ConneXium shielded twisted pair (SFTP) straight cable engineered for industrial automation control systems. With a 2-meter length and dual RJ45 connectors, this cable connects data terminal equipment and networking devices within Modicon Premium Automation platforms. The cable meets UL and CSA standards, making it compliant for North American installations.
Key Features
- Shielded twisted pair (SFTP) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and signal noise
