4.4  Connectors for external antennas and power supply 
Hybrid female connector and M12 male connector 
The SCALANCE W788-xPRO / W788-xRR / W74x-1xx is attached to Ethernet via a hybrid 
socket on the front of the housing (position A in the figure). This port also has contacts for 
the operating voltage. 
 
CAUTION 
 
Strain relief for the hybrid cable 
Make sure that there is strain relief for the hybrid cable socket in both directions (along the 
cable axis and transverse). Forces can be exerted on the socket simply from the weight of 
the hybrid cable, for example when the SCALANCE W is installed high up. 
 
 
 
  Note 
Protective cap for the hybrid socket 
If you do not use the hybrid socket, this must be covered with a protective cap, otherwise IP 
65 protection is lost. A suitable protective cap is available as an accessory (order no. 
6ES7194-1JB10-0XA0). If you do not use the M12 connector, the supplied protective cap 
must also be fitted to retain the IP65 degree of protection.
