Product Description

The Yokogawa KS1-15*B is a high-grade signal interface cable engineered for reliable point-to-point connectivity within CENTUM series systems and other Yokogawa instrumentation platforms. Designed for I/O module to terminal board or signal conditioning nest connections, the KS1-15*B ensures transparent data transmission with minimal attenuation over longer distances.

At 15 meters, this cable provides the necessary reach for cross-cabinet or floor-to-floor wiring. Its high-flexibility conductors and robust outer jacketing withstand the physical stresses of dense industrial cable trays while maintaining strict signal integrity.

Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios

The KS1-15*B is widely used in large-scale signal marshalling cabinets, where field signals need to be consolidated and routed to central processing units in other racks. Common industries and installations include:

• Power generation facilities

• Water treatment plants

• Petrochemical and chemical processing plants

Its shielding protects sensitive analog signals from noise generated by high-voltage switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), and industrial equipment.

FAQ

Q: What does the “B” suffix represent in the KS1 series?
The asterisk (*) followed by a letter indicates a specific revision or style code related to the connector orientation or cable physical properties.

Q: Can the KS1-15*B cable be shortened in the field?
It is not recommended. Cutting the factory-molded cable can compromise shielding and signal-to-noise performance, potentially causing errors in analog or digital signal transmission.
