Siemens 6GK5788-1GD00-0AB0 SCALANCE W788-1 IWLAN Access Point

Description

The 6GK5788-1GD00-0AB0 is a high-performance SCALANCE W788-1 M12 industrial wireless LAN (IWLAN) access point, engineered for reliable data communication in demanding industrial environments. Featuring one radio module and three N-Connect antenna ports, it supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h/n standards across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, delivering a gross data rate of up to 450 Mbit/s per radio. The unit is designed for durability with an IP65 degree of protection and operates within an ambient temperature range of -20 degC to +60 degC. Connectivity is managed via a high-speed 1 Gbit/s M12 port and redundant 24 V DC power supply inputs. Advanced security is handled via WPA2/802.11i/e protocols, and it features a plug slot for additional "iFeatures" via a Key Plug.
