KS1-10*B | Yokogawa | Signal Cable

Description

The Yokogawa KS1-10*B  is a shielded signal cable used for interconnecting subsystem terminal boards and I/O modules within CENTUM VP and ProSafe‑RS control systems. The model supports stable mixed‑signal transmission across distributed control panels.

Hardware Specifications

Functional Description

The KS1‑10\B signal cable provides shielded multi‑signal routing between Yokogawa subsystem components. Its construction supports mixed analog and digital signal transmission while maintaining stable impedance and low‑noise characteristics. The “10” designation identifies the cable as a 10‑meter class model, suitable for medium‑distance cabinet‑to‑cabinet wiring. The \B suffix identifies connector or shielding variations within the KS1 cable family. Shielding ensures channel‑to‑channel isolation and prevents interference when used in Yokogawa DCS wiring environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the “10” in KS1‑10\B represent?* It indicates the cable belongs to the 10‑meter length class.

Q: What does the \B suffix mean?* It identifies connector or shielding variations within the KS1 cable family.

Q: Can KS1‑10\B be used for mixed analog/digital signals?* Yes. The cable is designed for stable mixed‑signal routing.

Q: Is the cable hot‑swappable? No. Signal cables must be connected or removed only when associated I/O modules are powered down.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Maintain shield bonding at a single grounding point to avoid ground‑loop formation.
• Route the cable away from high‑voltage or high‑current conductors to prevent induced noise.
• Ensure connectors are fully seated and latched before powering the system.
• Apply strain relief at both ends to prevent connector fatigue during cabinet vibration.
• Avoid tight bending radii to maintain internal conductor integrity over the cable length.
