Yokogawa AKB331-M020 Signal Cable
The Yokogawa AKB331-M020, also cataloged as the AKB331 Signal Cable, serves as the primary AKB331 Signal Cable utilized to execute interconnecting signal transmission across Centum CS and Centum VP system platforms.
Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix
- AKB331: Base model code designating the standard multi-core shielded interconnecting signal cable assembly.
- -M020: Fixed length suffix specifying a total cable run length of 20 m.
Hardware Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | AKB331-M020 |
| Brand | Yokogawa |
| Origin | Japan |
| Weight | 4 kg |
| Dimensions | Cable length: 20 m |
| Operating Temp | -20 to 60 deg C |
| Cable Type | Multi-conductor shielded cable assembly |
| Shielding Structure | Overall braided shield |
| Connector Configuration | Heavy-duty pre-molded system connectors |
| Application | Signal interconnectivity for Yokogawa system sub-racks |
Channel-to-Channel Isolation and Analog Conditioning
The Yokogawa AKB331-M020 cable assembly is engineered with high-density copper shielding and low-capacitance conductor pairs to maintain signal integrity during continuous 4-20 mA HART loop protocol transmission and analog voltage signal routing. The integrated overall braid provides robust noise rejection against high common-mode electromagnetic interference across 20 m cable paths. Designed to bridge field wiring termination units and I/O sub-racks, the assembly minimizes signal attenuation and crosstalk in critical process control network architecture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What precautions are required regarding minimum bending radius when routing the AKB331-M020 cable?
A: Field installation requires adhering to a minimum bending radius of at least 10 times the outer cable diameter to prevent internal conductor strain or degradation of the overall shielding layer.
Q: Can the 20 m AKB331-M020 cable assembly be cut or spliced in the field?
A: Splicing is strictly prohibited; the cable features factory-molded connectors designed for direct plug-and-play backplane or terminal block interface to preserve impedance matching and shield continuity.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Inspect pre-molded connector pins and housing bodies for physical damage before routing the cable through panel wireways.
- Maintain adequate separation from AC power cables and high-voltage motor control conduits during tray placement.
- Secure overall cable shielding drains to designated system earthing bars in compliance with standard EMC grounding guidelines.
- Support the 4 kg cable weight with appropriate strain-relief clamps situated within 15 cm of the connection interfaces.
- Tighten connector locking screws fully to ensure stable mechanical contact resistance and resist vibration-induced loosening.
