Product Overview
The ABB Bailey NKLS01 Net Interface Cable is an industrial-grade communication cable developed specifically for ABB Bailey Distributed Control Systems (DCS), enabling high-reliability network connectivity between controllers, I/O modules, and operator interfaces.
Optimized for INFI 90, Harmony, and Symphony control environments, the NKLS01 provides robust data transmission and stable system-wide communication. With its durable construction, low capacitance, and excellent EMI/RFI shielding, it ensures high signal integrity, even in the most challenging industrial environments.
The NKLS01 cable is often used in legacy system upgrades, retrofits, or as a replacement cable, offering complete backward compatibility with earlier ABB Bailey cabling and modules. Trusted by thousands of plants worldwide, the NKLS01 remains a staple of ABB Bailey DCS networking infrastructure.
