The 6ES7194-2LN10-1AB0 combines two constraints into one cable: angled M8 connectors for tight vertical clearance, and a 10-meter length for power distribution that stays within the same cabinet line-up. It is the cable you choose when the enclosure is shallow AND the distance is moderate—both problems solved with a single part number.

Why choose both angled AND 10 meters?

Each feature solves a separate constraint. The angled (90°) connectors handle the mechanical clearance problem: a shallow junction box, a wireway running directly above the DIN rail, or a lid that closes tight to the module face. The 10-meter length handles the electrical and cable-management side: enough reach to span adjacent cabinets in the same line-up, but not so much that you are coiling slack in the wireway. If you need angled connectors but the run is across the room, choose the 15-meter 2LN15-1AB0. If you need 10 meters but the enclosure has ample overhead clearance, the straight 2LN10-1AA0 is simpler and marginally less expensive. This 1AB0 is for the intersection of both constraints.

What does the angled connector save in practice?

A straight M8 plug projects roughly 25 mm from the port face before the cable can begin its bend. Adding the minimum bend radius (26 mm for a single bend on power cable) brings the total vertical clearance requirement to about 30 mm above the port. An angled plug exits at 90°—the cable runs flat along the module face, collapsing that 30 mm to roughly 12 mm. In a panel with a 50 mm deep wireway mounted 40 mm above the DIN rail, the straight connector does not fit; the angled one does. The difference is not theoretical—it is whether the door closes.

How does 10 meters compare to 15 meters for voltage drop?

At 10 m, with 4 × 0.50 mm² copper and a 4 A load, the round-trip voltage drop is approximately 0.7 V—versus 1.0 V at 15 m. Most 24 V DC industrial electronics accept ±10% (21.6–26.4 V), so both are within tolerance under normal conditions. The 10-meter cable gives extra margin when the 24 V source is already at the low end of its output range, or when the load current is near the connector's 4 A per-pin maximum.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and the 2LN15-1AB0?

Only the length. Both have angled M8 plug and socket, gray PVC jacket, 4 × 0.50 mm² cores, IP65/IP67. The 2LN10-1AB0 is 10 meters; the 2LN15-1AB0 is 15 meters. Choose 10 m for within-zone distribution where everything is in the same cabinet row; choose 15 m when cabinets are farther apart or the power source is in a different enclosure group.

Can I connect this directly between two ET 200AL power modules?

No. This is a plug-to-socket extension cable—the plug inserts into a module's female power output, and the socket receives the next cable's plug. For direct module-to-module power connections where both modules present female sockets, use a plug-to-plug power cable. The plug-to-socket topology extends a chain; it does not bridge two modules.

Does the angled connector affect the IP65/IP67 rating?

No. The angled M8 connectors carry the same IP65/IP67 rating as the straight versions. The sealing is in the mating interface between the plug and socket, not in the exit angle.
