Product Introduction
The Yokogawa KS10-05*A Signal Cable is a premium-grade industrial signal transmission cable engineered for precise and reliable data communication in control and instrumentation systems. Designed and manufactured under Yokogawa’s strict quality control standards, this cable ensures stable signal transfer with minimal noise interference and outstanding mechanical durability.
With a standard length of 5 meters, the KS10-05*A is particularly suitable for short-distance connections between field devices and control modules. It serves as a critical communication link in distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and safety instrumented systems (SIS). The use of high-conductivity tinned copper conductors and advanced insulation materials ensures minimal attenuation and high signal fidelity.
Belonging to Yokogawa’s KS series, the KS10-05*A upholds the brand’s legacy of reliability, safety, and long-term stability. It is widely used in demanding industrial environments such as petrochemical plants, power generation facilities, and process automation systems, where stable performance and noise immunity are essential.
