4.1  Cabling for power supply and Ethernet 
Suitable cables 
The following cables are available for connecting a SCALANCE W788-xPRO/RR or 
SCALANCE W74x-1PRO/RR to the power supply and Ethernet:  
●  IE hybrid cable 2 x 2 + 4 x 0.34 (order no. 6XV1870-2J) 
The two data wire pairs are separately shielded. This cable is particularly suitable for 
assembly with the IE IP 67 hybrid connector. 
●  IE FC TP standard cable 4 x 2 GP (order no. 6XV1870-2E) 
In these cable types, two wires are twisted. All four pairs of wires are inside a common 
shield. 
●  2 x 2 IE cable, the optional power supply (18 - 48 V DC) is over M12 connectors. 
Cable selection and interference exposure 
A decisive factor in the selection of a cable type is the electromagnetic interference to which 
the current lines between the power supply and the FC RJ-45 modular outlet are subjected. 
Due to the separate shielding of the data wires, such interference has less effect on the data 
transmission on a hybrid cable than on TP standard cable or TP flexible cable.
