Siemens 6ES7288-6EC01-0AA0 I/O Expansion Cable
A Siemens one-metre I/O expansion cable identified by the complete S7-200 SMART article number.
Overview
Siemens 6ES7288-6EC01-0AA0 is the manufacturer-listed I/O expansion cable for the SIMATIC S7-200 SMART system.
The S7-200 SMART system manual publishes a cable length of 1 m and a weight of 80 g for this exact article number. It is an accessory rather than a CPU, signal module or communication processor.
Selection should retain the complete cable article number and the identities of the two connected S7-200 SMART assemblies; connector condition and routing space also belong in the service record.
Technical Data
Functions & Characteristics
Defined extension length
The manufacturer specifies a one-metre cable for the documented I/O extension path.
Accessory identity
The 6EC01 article number distinguishes the cable from CPUs and expansion modules in the same catalogue.
Service traceability
Recording both endpoint labels prevents a cable-only purchase from obscuring the real system context.
Route-conscious replacement
Connector access, bend clearance and strain relief are checked before the replacement is approved.
Applications
Panel layout extension
Providing the documented one-metre I/O connection between compatible S7-200 SMART assemblies.
Cable replacement
Replacing a damaged or suspect extension cable without changing the connected module identities.
Shutdown preparation
Capturing endpoint labels and route photographs before a controlled cable exchange.
Service Control
Photograph both connected devices, the complete 6ES7288-6EC01-0AA0 label and the installed cable route.
Remove power under the approved procedure and inspect both mating connectors before reconnection.
Restore the original route, secure strain relief and confirm normal recognition of every affected module.

FAQ
Q01
Is 6ES7288-6EC01-0AA0 a signal module?
+
No. Siemens lists it as a one-metre S7-200 SMART I/O expansion cable.
Q02
What should accompany a 6ES7288-6EC01-0AA0 enquiry?
+
Provide both endpoint module labels, connector photographs, route length, quantity and delivery destination.
Q03
Can a generic cable be used instead of 6ES7288-6EC01-0AA0?
+
Do not approve a generic substitute by length alone; connector design and system approval must match the Siemens accessory record.
Q04
What should be inspected before fitting 6ES7288-6EC01-0AA0?
+
Check both mating connectors, keying, contamination, pin condition, bend radius and available strain relief.
Q05
How is 6ES7288-6EC01-0AA0 accepted after installation?
+
Confirm the original module chain is recognized, diagnostics are normal and the cable is secured without connector load.
