Product Description

The KS10-10*A is a high-density, multi-core signal interface cable manufactured by Yokogawa for use with CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS control systems. It is engineered to provide secure and low-impedance connectivity between I/O modules and their associated terminal boards or signal conditioning units.

Featuring a 50-pin to 50-pin female connector configuration, the KS10-10*A ensures stable transmission of low-voltage control signals in critical automation environments. The “Style A” designation refers to Yokogawa’s standardized connector format and shielding structure, optimized for industrial electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

Technical Specifications

Industrial Applications

The KS10-10*A is widely used in large-scale Distributed Control System (DCS) and Safety Instrumented System (SIS) installations, including:

• Petrochemical refineries

• Offshore oil & gas platforms

• Continuous power generation plants

• Central control room marshaling cabinets

Its 10-meter length allows flexible cabinet-to-cabinet routing while maintaining signal integrity. The high-density 50-pin interface supports both analog and digital control signals according to the associated I/O module pin assignment.

Technical FAQs

1. Can the KS10 cable carry both analog and digital signals?
Yes. The KS10 series is designed to transmit various low-voltage control signals defined by the connected I/O module pinout, including both analog and digital channels.

2. Is the cable suitable for outdoor installation?
The cable jacket is industrial-grade; however, it is primarily intended for indoor or cabinet routing. For outdoor installations, it should be placed inside sealed conduit or protected cable trays to prevent UV and moisture exposure.
