Product Details
The ABB NKLS01-25, also cataloged as the NKLS01 Infi-Net Superloop Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for deterministic node-to-node communication pass-through within INFI 90 and Network 90 DCS platforms. Cable length spans 25 ft (7.62 m) to form high-speed bus interconnections between Infi-Net Interface (INFI) modules, transferring real-time process data and system status frames across local control nodes.

Deterministic Network Bus Execution and Backplane Integration
The NKLS01-25 cable facilitates high-speed point-to-point data throughput across the Infi-Net redundant bus architecture. Low signal attenuation and matched impedance properties preserve serial frame integrity during peak bus load states. Integrating this physical layer cable ensures tight firmware flash compatibility across network interface cards, preventing transmission retry delays and maintaining deterministic system execution across scaled rack nodes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the NKLS01-25 cable assembly be modified or cut to custom field lengths?
A: No, the cable features factory-molded connectors with factory-verified impedance characteristics; cutting or altering the physical length degrades signal reflection performance across the Infi-Net loop.
Q: What network hardware interfaces directly with this cable assembly?
A: The NKLS01-25 connects directly between ABB Symphony / INFI 90 Infi-Net interface modules and termination units within the rack system.
Q: Does the cable require external power or termination modules?
A: The assembly is a passive conductor harness; line termination logic is executed by the connected host network cards or active termination blocks at the loop endpoints.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Observe the minimum bend radius during installation to avoid physical stress or degradation of internal copper conductors.
- Secure connector retention screws tightly to the mating interface on the controller card to prevent signal loss from mechanical vibration.
- Separate Infi-Net network cabling from high-voltage AC power lines and drive motor leads to prevent electromagnetic interference.
- Inspect pin contacts for dust or mechanical alignment issues prior to insertion into the rack backplane termination sockets.
