Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct cord set for your application:
- Cable Length: Measure the physical distance between the module and the connected device; add 15–20% slack. Choose BMXFCW151S (1.5 m), BMXFCW301S (3 m), or BMXFCW501S (5 m) accordingly.
- Shielding Requirement: For environments with variable-frequency drives (VFDs), servo drives, or high-current switching, always select the shielded (S-suffix) variant.
- Connector Type: Confirm the target module’s port specification in the Schneider Electric module datasheet before ordering.
- Quantity: Order one cord set per module port requiring a shielded connection.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a standard unshielded cable instead of the BMXFCW301S?
A: Not recommended. Unshielded cables in industrial environments are susceptible to EMI interference, which can cause communication errors or module faults.
Q: Is the BMXFCW301S compatible with older Modicon Premium or Quantum PLCs?
A: No. This cord set is designed specifically for the M340 (BMX) platform. For Premium or Quantum systems, refer to TSX or 140-series accessories.
Q: What is the difference between BMXFCW301S and BMXFCW301?
A: The “S” suffix denotes the shielded version. The non-S variant lacks full EMI shielding and is not recommended for electrically noisy environments.
Q: Can Konmask.com provide a certificate of conformity?
A: Yes. Certificates of conformity and test reports are available upon request for qualified buyers.
Q: What is the lead time for BMXFCW301S?
A: In-stock orders typically ship within 1–3 business days. Contact us for current availability.
