About the Siemens 6ES7368-3BB01-0AA0

The Siemens 6ES7368-3BB01-0AA0 is the 1 m cable between the S7-300 IM 360 and IM 361 interface modules; the 6ES7368-3BC51-0AA0 is the same cable at 2.5 m. Siemens lists it as a spare part, and SiePortal shows the product cancellation on 1 October 2025. Siemens's S7-300 Module data manual lists the same cable for IM 361 to IM 361 links, and gives at most 10 m from one interface module to the next.

What is the 6ES7368-3BB01-0AA0 used for?

It links the central S7-300 rack, through its IM 360, to an expansion rack with an IM 361, so a CPU can use more modules than one rack holds.

Lifecycle and successor
