The Siemens SIMATIC Mobile Panel 2nd Generation Connection Box Standard (6AV2125-2AE13-0AX0) is the stationary-enclosure interface for 2nd-gen mobile panels — supports PROFINET and PROFISAFE with an integrated Industrial Ethernet switch and automatic connection-point detection. It is not a display; a KTPxxx Mobile panel plus connection cable is required. New original, quoted per order, ships in 24h by DHL (3–7 days).
The SIMATIC HMI connection box standard (order number 6AV2125-2AE13-0AX0) is the wall-mounted dock for second-generation SIMATIC Mobile Panels. A three-port switch is built into the housing, the whole box is sealed IP65, and the safety buttons on the docked panel are carried into the machine safety circuit.

What the Connection Box Standard Is
The dock that also does the switching
Three RJ45 ports live behind the front LEDs: P1 and P2 for fixed machine cabling, P3 for the Mobile Panel connecting cable. The integrated switch joins panel, controller and a further network leg without an external switch, and web-based management plus DHCP, SNMP, DCP and LLDP make the box visible to normal plant IT tooling.
Mounted where the operator actually works
Because the housing is IP65 all-round, the box sits on a wall or machine frame next to the workplace instead of inside a cabinet. The in-cabinet alternative is the compact box; the step up with e-stop bridging, MRP and IRT is the advanced box.

A Switch in the Wall, Rated for Classed Ships
The switch inside decides the cabling
With P1, P2 and P3 on one housing, the panel, the controller and one more Ethernet leg meet inside the dock. That removes an external switch from most mobile stations and keeps the panel cable as the only part that ever moves.
Marine type approval across the classification societies
The standard box carries approvals from GL, ABS, BV, DNV, KRS, LRS, NK and CCS, which is unusual for a docking accessory and matters on vessel retrofits where every fixed component needs papers.
Compact, Standard or Advanced — Choosing the Box
| Characteristic | Compact (2AE03) | Standard — this page | Advanced (2AE23) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mounting | Control cabinet | Wall / direct | Wall / direct |
| Protection | IP65 front, IP20 rear | IP65 all-round | IP65 all-round |
| Ethernet ports | 2, no switch | 3, integrated switch | 3, integrated switch |
| E-stop circuit bridging | No | No | Yes |
| MRP client / IRT | No / No | No / No | Yes / Yes |
| Net weight | 0.49 kg | 0.778 kg | 0.788 kg |
The three boxes share PROFINET with PROFIsafe and connection point detection. Choose standard when the dock sits outside the cabinet and its own switch simplifies cabling; advanced adds e-stop bridging plus MRP and IRT; compact stays inside the door at the lowest cost.
Compatibility and How to Order
The standard box docks every Mobile Panel of the 2nd Generation through KTP Mobile connecting cables (2 – 25 m) and feeds any PROFINET controller. Typical pairings: the KTP700F Mobile for failsafe stations and the KTP700 Mobile where safety is handled elsewhere.
- Email sales@can-electric.com with the order number, quantity, delivery country, and whether the unit replaces a failed one or stocks a spare.
- State the condition you need — new, new-surplus or refurbished is written on the quote, never implied.
- Prices are USD and ships go out from Hong Kong by DHL; availability is confirmed per order rather than taken from a catalogue status.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 6AV2125-2AE13-0AX0 used for?
It is the wall-mounted docking station for second-generation SIMATIC Mobile Panels — power, PROFINET and safety signals pass through it.
Does it really include a switch?
Yes. Three RJ45 ports are joined by an integrated switch: two Fast Connector ports for the machine side and one socket for the panel cable.
Can it be flush-mounted in a cabinet door?
No. Wall or direct mounting only; the compact box is the in-cabinet variant.
Is it sealed against washdown?
IP65 all-round, so dust-tight and splash-water protected on every face — not a high-pressure washdown rating.
How are the safety buttons handled?
Through the safety relay connection as direct wiring, or as PROFIsafe F-data over PROFINET; either way PL e and SIL 3 are achievable.
Does it support MRP or IRT?
No. Media redundancy and isochronous real-time are features of the advanced box (2AE23).
Which cables fit?
KTP Mobile connecting cables from 2 to 25 m, order numbers 6AV2181-5AF02 through 6AV2181-5AF25.
What does the web-based management show?
Status and configuration pages reachable over HTTP/HTTPS — useful for checking link state and firmware without opening the cabinet.
Which approvals matter for shipboard use?
Marine type approvals from GL, ABS, BV, DNV, KRS, LRS, NK and CCS, alongside the usual CE, cULus, RCM and UKCA marks.
Is the hardware genuine, and how do I get a quote?
Genuine Siemens hardware sourced through Siemens-authorized distribution partners; CAN Electric is an independent channel trader, not Siemens and not a factory-authorized distributor. Email sales@can-electric.com with quantity and delivery country.
