Product Description
The KS1-05*A is a high-quality, factory-terminated interface cable manufactured by Yokogawa Electric Corporation. Designed for industrial automation environments, this 5-meter interface cable provides reliable physical-layer connectivity between I/O modules and terminal boards or inter-cabinet wiring systems.
The KS1-05*A is optimized to maintain signal integrity for both analog and digital I/O transmission. It features high-grade shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) commonly encountered in heavy industrial environments such as power plants and chemical processing facilities.
The ruggedized connector design provides strong vibration resistance and stable electrical contact, making it suitable for high-availability control architectures including FA-M3 PLC systems and CENTUM distributed control systems.

FAQ
Is this cable suitable for high-speed communication?
No. The KS1-05*A is intended for I/O signal transmission only. High-speed network communication such as Vnet/IP or ESB bus requires specialized coaxial or fiber optic cabling.
Can I shorten the cable?
Modification is strongly discouraged. The connectors are factory-molded to maintain impedance control and shielding effectiveness. Cutting or resoldering will void warranty and may introduce signal noise or signal reflection issues.
What is the difference between KS1 and KS2 cables?
The KS1 and KS2 series differ mainly in connector density and pin configuration. Always verify module compatibility (such as F3AD or F3DA series I/O modules) before selection.
