KS1-20*B Yokogawa Noise Resistant I/O Module Cable

Product Overview

The Yokogawa KS1-20*B serves as a high-density, critical-link signal cable module within the CENTUM VP distributed control system (DCS) architecture. It establishes secure, point-to-point connections between Yokogawa I/O modules, field control stations, and marshalling panels. By integrating a heavy-duty 40-pin to 40-pin configuration, this cable guarantees uninterrupted data flow and precise signal reproduction for critical process loops. Engineers rely on it to maintain total system uptime in complex chemical, oil and gas, and power generation facilities.

Part Number Breakdown

Yokogawa utilizes a structured suffix system for the KS1 series to define physical length and deployment configurations.

Engineering Advantages

• Eliminates Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): High-voltage industrial equipment and variable frequency drives (VFDs) generate massive electrical noise. The advanced metallic shielding mesh inside the KS1-20*B intercepts this radiation, draining it safely to ground to prevent signal degradation or false trips in your control loop.

• Simplifies Tight-Space Routing: Heavy industrial enclosures leave very little room for cable management. With a tight 100 mm minimum bending radius, this cable navigates sharp angles inside crowded marshalling cabinets without pinching the internal copper conductors or stressing the termination points.

• Withstands Severe Thermal Stress: Control rooms and field enclosures experience extreme temperature fluctuations. The ruggedized outer jacket resists cracking, hardening, and degradation across an expansive thermal band of -20 to +70 degrees Celsius, ensuring decades of continuous service.

• Accelerates System Reconfiguration: The plug-and-play 40-pin connectors eliminate tedious individual point-to-point wire stripping and crimping. This standardized design speeds up routine maintenance, simplifies loop testing, and cuts system commissioning schedules by hours.

FAQs

• Q: Is the KS1-20*B cable supplied as a brand new component?

  A: Yes. We supply this product as a 100% brand new, authentic, and original module shipped directly in original manufacturer packaging from Yokogawa Japan.

• Q: Does the cable shield require external grounding during installation?

  A: The 40-pin connectors automatically bond the internal shield to the chassis ground when you lock them into the compatible Yokogawa I/O module or termination panel, eliminating the need for manual pigtail grounding.

• Q: Can I use this cable model for dynamic, continuous-flexing applications like cable tracks?

  A: No. While the cable provides excellent flexibility for tight static routing and easy reconfiguration during maintenance, you must secure it firmly within static cable trays or wire ducts during standard operation.
