Product Description:

The 00.C6.FD0-AAE0 is an antenna accessory developed by KEB for installations that use the C6 Combicontrol Bus Couplers series. As a radio interface element, the unit enables cellular or WLAN signal reception so the bus coupler can exchange data with remote devices without wired links. Within an automation environment, this antenna supports machine builders who need to expose the controller to industrial IoT services or remote diagnostics while keeping the electronics inside sealed enclosures.

The radiating element supports Pentaband operation, which means it covers five cellular frequency ranges and can maintain a connection from legacy 2G through newer 4G allocations. A maximum signal enhancement of 2.5 dBi increases link margin when the controller cabinet sits in steel-dense production halls. A characteristic impedance of 50 Ohm allows direct coupling to standard industrial modems without external tuning networks. The design tolerates up to 50 W of continuous RF power, so it can be used with high-output telemetry transmitters when required. Environmental sealing meets IP67, protecting the internal feed and radiating surfaces from dust ingress and temporary submersion encountered on outdoor conveyor lines.

Installation convenience is handled through a mounting bracket fixed at a 90° angle, allowing the whip to stand vertically while the base plate fastens to a cabinet sidewall. The integrated cable is 1 m long, giving enough reach to route the feed through a gland before connecting to the controller. An SMA-M plug terminates the lead so it threads directly onto common cellular gateway jacks, avoiding adapter losses. The designated Wall Mount style keeps the antenna clear of nearby metal objects, while its overall length of 248 mm positions the active section above interference sources inside the panel.
