Schneider 140XCA71706 Backplane Expander Cable

Product Description

The 140XCA71706 is a heavy-duty backplane expansion cable designed for the Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum automation platform. This specialized connection accessory is used to physically and electrically link two Quantum backplanes via 140XBE10000 expander modules. Measuring 6.6 feet (2 meters) in length, this cable enables the extension of the high-speed communication bus across multiple racks, allowing a single CPU to control a larger, distributed I/O configuration without signal degradation.

Key Engineering Features

• Optimized Signal Integrity: The cable is engineered with high-quality shielding and impedance matching to maintain the timing and electrical requirements of the Quantum bus across the 2-meter span.

• Plug-and-Play Integration: Features specialized connectors that secure firmly to the 140XBE10000 modules, ensuring a vibration-resistant connection suitable for industrial environments.

• Flexible System Layout: The 2-meter length provides sufficient slack for mounting expansion racks in adjacent cabinets or on different levels within a single control enclosure.

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand the electrical noise (EMI/RFI) common in power distribution and heavy manufacturing environments, protecting the critical data flow between PLC racks.

• Essential Scalability: A mandatory component for any Quantum system that has outgrown a single chassis and requires additional I/O slots.
