The 6ES7194-2MN10-1AB0 is a 10-meter 24VDC M8 power extension cable for SIMATIC ET 200AL. Angled (90°) plug and socket at both ends keep the cable flat against the module face — essential when power ports sit in a cramped row where straight connectors would clash.

When do angled connectors earn their place on a power cable?

Power ports on ET 200AL modules are often recessed between the bus port and the I/O terminal strip. A straight M8 plug projects 30-40mm perpendicular to the module face — right into the wiring duct or the module mounted above it on the DIN rail. The angled connector exits parallel to the housing, staying within the module's height envelope and leaving the duct accessible for signal wiring. Choose angled-to-angled when both the source and destination modules have obstructed clearance above the M8 port.

Extension vs. open-end — which one for daisy-chaining?

This is an extension cable — M8 plug on one end, M8 socket on the other. It extends the gray 24VDC power rail from one ET 200AL module's power-out socket to the next module's power-in plug, preserving the daisy-chain without a terminal block in between. If the power source is a terminal strip instead of an M8 port, switch to the open-end variant (6ES7194-2MN10-1AC0) which has a socket on one end and stripped conductors on the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 6ES7194-2MN10-1AB0 and -1AA0?

The -1AB0 has angled (90°) connectors at both ends. The -1AA0 has straight (180°) connectors at both ends. Both are 10m, gray, 4-pole 24VDC power extension cables. The choice is mechanical — angled for tight clearance, straight for open access.

Can this cable carry enough current for multiple ET 200AL modules?

The 4×0.50mm² conductors are rated for the power consumption of the ET 200AL module it directly connects to plus pass-through to downstream modules on the daisy-chain. For systems with high sensor or actuator loads, calculate the total current draw on the chain and verify it stays within the conductor and connector rating. For loads exceeding the M8 chain capacity, feed additional power injection points from the 24VDC supply.
