Product Overview

The NKLS01-15 is a specialized 15-foot prefabricated communication cable engineered by ABB for the Bailey Infi 90 and Net 90 Distributed Control System (DCS) platforms. This high-reliability interface cable is designed to facilitate robust data loop connections between process control modules and network interface hardware. Featuring factory-terminated connectors and high-grade copper conductors, the NKLS01-15 ensures low-impedance signal transmission and high noise immunity within the Infi-Net communication ring. Its 15-foot length provides the necessary span for intra-cabinet or adjacent-cabinet networking while maintaining strict signal integrity standards required for real-time industrial process control.
