Product Description

The YCB111-M025 is a heavy-duty industrial coaxial cable engineered for the foundational communication layers of Yokogawa Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Operating on the 10BASE-5 standard, this 25-meter cable provides the physical medium for high-speed V net and ER bus data transmission. Unlike standard networking cables, the YCB111-M025 is built to maintain signal integrity across long distances in environments saturated with electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring that critical process data reaches the Field Control Station without packet loss or jitter.

Technical Specifications

Operational Logic and Installation

The YCB111-M025 is a vital component for interconnecting multiple system cabinets or linking remote I/O nodes to a central controller. Its solderless connector design is a significant advantage for field technicians, as it allows for secure, vibration-resistant terminations without the need for specialized soldering equipment. This design reduces the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and simplifies the expansion of existing Centum VP or ProSafe-RS safety networks.

Comparison: YCB111 vs. YCB141

While the YCB141 series typically utilizes BNC-type connectors for 10BASE-2 (Thin Ethernet) applications, the YCB111-M025 is a 10BASE-5 "Thick" cable designed for more robust trunk line applications. The YCB111-M025 offers lower signal attenuation over the same distance, making it the preferred choice for primary backbone communication between critical DCS nodes.
