Someone to know what's the maximum length for the communication cable between display power meter (METSEPM5RD) to PM5563?

Thanks.

Hi @fjaviergp 

As stated in the following article, the maximum recommended cable length between the METSEPM5RD remote display and the PM5563 meter is 10 meters (30 ft) to maintain certification and proper operation. Longer distances are not tested or guaranteed.

What is the maximum length for remote display cable to use with PM5000?

Thank you @Mehran_Mehrnia,  We have a project with lengths upto 15 meters, I hope the solution works correctly.

Bests regards

Hi @fjaviergp 

You're welcome.

Schneider Electric certifies the PM5000 remote display cable for up to 10 meters, which is the only fully tested and IEC‑compliant length. Using 15 meters may still work, but it is not guaranteed or officially supported.

If you choose to proceed, use high‑quality cabling and consider adding ferrite beads to reduce noise. If any issues occur, reducing the cable length typically resolves them.
