Siemens 6XV18703RE50 IE TP Cord — RJ45/RJ45 0.5 m
MPN Family Context
The prefix 6XV18703 identifies this as a member of Siemens' Industrial Ethernet TP (Twisted Pair) cord family. The trailing characters encode connector configuration and length — RE indicates a specific terminated-end arrangement, and 50 maps to a 0.5 m body length. All parts in this family share the same shielded round cable construction, 8p8c RJ45 contact geometry, and Green sheath color.

Application Context
Industrial Ethernet TP cords from this family are used to establish point-to-point connections between automation devices within a cabinet or across adjacent enclosures. The shielded construction supports EMC-sensitive communication links. With a 0.5 m length, this specific part suits short-run device-to-device or device-to-switch connections where cable routing length must be minimized.
Similar Catalog Parts
The following in-catalog parts share the same base product number and core construction but differ in length and connector termination. Similarity scores are provided for catalog screening only; none of these parts have been reviewed as direct interchange options.
| Part Number | Length | Shielding | Similarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6XV18703RE50 (primary) | 0.5 m | Shielded | — |
| 6XV18703QE50 | 0.5 m | Shielded | 0.929 |
| 6XV18703QH40 | 4.0 m | Shielded | 0.886 |
| 6XV18703QH60 | 6.0 m | Shielded | 0.890 |
6XV18703QE50 shares the same 0.5 m length and shielded construction; the QE suffix indicates a different connector-end configuration while retaining identical cable core specs. Similarity is driven by minimal MPN edit distance and full category and spec alignment.
6XV18703QH40 and 6XV18703QH60 extend to 4 m and 6 m respectively with the same shielded round cable and Green sheath. Both use the QH connector coding, differentiating from the primary RE termination style. The shared base product and cable type support side-by-side screening for length selection in fixed routing scenarios.
Longer variants in the series (40 m, 45 m, 50 m) are also cataloged but omitted from this comparison. All listed parts are Siemens Active status.
