This 2-meter cable is a critical accessory for system scalability, allowing for the seamless connection of additional racks and field devices to the primary controller. Weighing 0.45 kg (1.00 lbs), it facilitates high-speed data transmission across the backplane, ensuring that expanded I\/O configurations maintain the same communication integrity as local rack installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.5em; color: #333; margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #f9f9f9; width: 35%;\"\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e140XCA71706\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eBackplane Expander Cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003eCable Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e2 Meters (6.56 ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003ePROFIBUS (Both Ends)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003eJacket Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eDurable PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e0.45 kg (1.00 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.5em; color: #333; margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eEngineering Advantages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 140XCA71706 hardware is designed to withstand standard industrial stress while providing an IP20 protection rating against dust and mechanical impact. The use of PROFIBUS-style connectors at both terminals ensures a secure, vibration-resistant physical link between Quantum backplanes. Its PVC construction remains flexible yet tough, supporting an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C and altitudes up to 1000 meters. This reliability is vital for maintaining constant uptime in distributed I\/O architectures where signal loss could result in system-wide logic interruptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.5em; color: #333; margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eTechnical FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ1: Is this cable compatible with other PLC series?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA1: The 140XCA71706 is specifically designed for the Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum series backplane expansion and is not recommended for other PLC platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ2: Can I use this cable in high-humidity environments?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA2: Yes, it is rated for up to 80% non-condensing humidity during both operation and storage, making it suitable for most standard factory environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: Does the length affect the data transmission speed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA3: At 2 meters, this cable is factory-validated to ensure that signal propagation delay remains within the strict tolerances required by the Quantum backplane timing specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schneider","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51827758497924,"sku":"140XCA71706","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/7454\/7844\/files\/140XCA71706.jpg?v=1778398021","url":"https:\/\/www.etowonauto.com\/az\/products\/140xca71706-schneider-electric-modicon-quantum-expander-cable-2m","provider":"Etowon Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
