OMRON G79-500C Cable

The Omron G79-500C is a 5-meter connecting cable engineered for industrial I/O automation systems. It links I/O blocks, relay blocks, and PLC modules across Omron and multi-vendor platforms using 28 AWG conductors with loose wire termination at the device end. This cable accommodates screw terminal connections and supports distributed I/O architectures in control panel and system integration applications.

– Technical Specifications

• Length: 5 meters (16.40 feet)
• Wire Gauge: 28 AWG (10/0.38 mm)
• Conductor Configuration: Loose wires at device end
• Maximum Current: 50 mA per I/O point

– Key Features

• Loose-wire termination enables direct connection to screw terminal devices
• 28 AWG conductors support low-voltage signal and control circuits
• Compatible with Omron G7TC, P7TF, G70A, and G70D relay blocks
• Supports both single-point and multi-point I/O configurations
• Extended 5-meter reach reduces panel-to-field wiring runs

– Typical Applications

• I/O block-to-controller interconnection in distributed automation systems
• Relay block integration within control enclosures
• Multi-module system wiring in industrial control panels
• Component-level signal distribution across PLC-based architectures

– Compatibility & Integration

The G79-500C connects directly to Omron PLC modules and functions as a general-purpose interconnect for I/O boards and PLC modules regardless of manufacturer. Output applications require verification that the relay drive element rating does not exceed the connected I/O relay power consumption. The cable’s loose-wire configuration allows field termination to screw-based connection points common in legacy and modern control systems alike.
