Product Introduction
The Yokogawa KS10-15*A Signal Cable is a high-performance industrial-grade connection cable specifically designed for use in automation, process control, and instrumentation systems. This cable ensures the accurate and stable transmission of analog or digital signals between sensors, transmitters, and control modules. With its 15-meter standard length, it is ideal for medium-range signal communication in distributed control systems (DCS) and programmable logic controller (PLC) environments.
Constructed using high-quality copper conductors and low-capacitance insulation materials, the KS10-15*A minimizes signal loss and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its robust outer sheath provides excellent resistance to abrasion, oil, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
This cable belongs to Yokogawa’s KS series, known for its superior durability, high signal integrity, and easy installation. It is compatible with various Yokogawa control systems such as CENTUM VP, ProSafe-RS, and STARDOM, ensuring reliable integration and long-term operation stability.
