Schneider 140XCA71709 Backplane Expander Cable 100% New

FAQ

What systems is the 140XCA71709 cable designed to work with?
It is designed specifically for Modicon Quantum systems to extend the backplane connection between racks.

Can this cable support high-speed backplane data signals?
Yes, the cable is engineered to maintain Quantum backplane signal integrity across its 3-meter length.

Does the cable require any additional termination hardware?
No, it comes with factory-terminated connectors ready for direct installation.

Is there a maximum number of racks that can be linked using expander cables?
Yes, Quantum systems have a defined limit on remote expansion segments; this depends on the specific CPU and rack configuration.

Can the 140XCA71709 be used interchangeably with other Quantum expander cable lengths?
It can be used where a 3-meter length is appropriate, but it must match Schneider’s approved cable part numbers for reliable operation.

Are there restrictions on bending radius during installation?
Yes, like most industrial cables, it should not be sharply bent; maintaining a gentle radius preserves signal quality and cable life.

Is shielding included to reduce electrical noise?
The cable incorporates shielding necessary for stable Quantum backplane communication.

Does the cable support hot-swap of racks during system operation?
Backplane expander cables themselves do not enable hot-swap; whether racks can be removed depends on the system’s configured redundancy and controller behavior.
