Product Description

The KS1-10*B is a specialized multi-core signal cable designed for high-reliability interfacing within Yokogawa distributed control system (DCS) environments. It provides a stable communication link between I/O modules and terminal boards, ensuring accurate field signal transmission with minimal electrical interference.

Configured with 40-pin to 40-pin high-density connectors, the KS1-10B (Part Number: **KS1-10B**) adopts Yokogawa’s Style B construction, which defines enhanced shielding, grounding, and connector housing characteristics optimized for industrial control cabinets.

Technical Specifications

System Implementation

The KS1-10*B is commonly installed in marshalling cabinets where a 10-meter span is required to route signals across multiple rack rows.

Compared to standard ribbon cables, the Style B ruggedized construction offers superior resistance to mechanical wear and electrical noise, making it suitable for harsh industrial plant environments. The cable is fully compatible with Yokogawa terminal boards and FIO (Field Interface O) modules that use the 40-pin interface standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

*What does the Style B (B) suffix indicate?
The *B designation defines a specific mechanical and electrical build standard. It ensures compatibility with current-generation Yokogawa terminal board housings and provides defined grounding and shielding characteristics required for modern DCS installations.

Can the KS1-10*B be used for power transmission?
No. The KS1-10*B is intended strictly for low-voltage signal-level analog and digital I/O. Using it for power transmission may cause conductor overheating, insulation damage, and signal integrity issues.
