Product Introduction
The ABB Bailey NKHS03-15 Hydraulic Servo Termination Cable is a specialized, high-integrity interconnect cable designed for use with hydraulic servo valve systems, particularly within Bailey INFI 90 or Symphony DCS control architecture. This model serves a critical role in signal transmission between electro-hydraulic actuators and their respective control modules or termination interfaces.
Designed with precision shielding, high-temperature insulation, and rugged industrial-grade connectors, the NKHS03-15 ensures low-noise, interference-resistant communication—ideal for high-response servo control circuits. The 15-meter cable length provides installation flexibility while maintaining electrical performance across critical control environments such as power generation, refining, heavy machinery, and process automation.
As part of ABB Bailey’s high-reliability control cable series, the NKHS03-15 integrates seamlessly with ABB’s legacy and current generation I/O systems, guaranteeing long-term operational consistency and system compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Is the NKHS03-15 compatible with third-party hydraulic servo controllers?
Primarily designed for ABB Bailey systems, but with compatible pinouts, it may be adapted for third-party integration. -
Can the cable be ordered in custom lengths?
Yes, while 15 meters is the standard length, custom lengths can be ordered from ABB through authorized distributors. -
Does the cable support analog or digital signals?
It supports both, depending on the servo controller interface—typically analog feedback and control voltages. -
What environments is the cable rated for?
It is rated for high-temperature, vibration-prone, oil-contaminated, and EMI-heavy industrial environments. -
Is re-termination possible on-site?
Not recommended. The factory termination ensures shielding continuity and proper contact—field termination may void warranty. -
Does ABB provide documentation or wiring diagrams with the cable?
Yes, technical data sheets and wiring diagrams are available for authorized users and integrators. -
Is this cable suitable for use in hazardous areas (ATEX)?
The cable itself is not ATEX-certified but may be routed in ATEX environments if installed per local codes with proper sealing. -
How is the cable identified in panel or junction box layouts?
The cable features continuous external markings for part number and directionality to facilitate tracing. -
Is the cable affected by vibration or flexing?
It has excellent resistance to mechanical vibration, and the jacket is tested for repeated flexing cycles in control environments. -
What is the shelf life of this cable?
If stored in dry, UV-protected, and temperature-controlled environments, the shelf life exceeds 10 years.
