C79000-G8976-C184-01

Connectors for the Power Supply and for Ethernet

The SCALANCE W 788 is attached to Ethernet via a hybrid socket on the front of

the housing (position A in Figure 3.1). This port also has contacts for the operating

voltage.

Note

If you do not use the hybrid socket, this must be covered with a protective cap,

otherwise IP65 protection is lost. A suitable protective cap is available as an ac-

cessory.

As an alternative or in addition to this, you can also use the M12 socket for the

power supply (position B in Figure 3.1).

You can fit additional antennas to the sides of the SCALANCE W 788-2pro (posi-

tion C in Figure 3.1).

Note

The distance between a pair of antennas for the first and second WLAN interface

should be at least 0.5 m.

Note

In the version for USA/Canada, two fixed antennas are fitted. On the

SCALANCE W 788-2pro, the antennas of the second wireless card can be de-

tached. The second wireless card can only be operated at 2.4 GHz
