Schneider 110XCA10100 Modicon I/O Expansion Link – Remote Drop Cable

The Schneider 110XCA10100 connects a Modicon Quantum local rack to remote I/O drops. This expansion link cable carries both power and communication signals for distributed I/O. You can use it with S908 Remote I/O adapter modules. The cable measures precisely 10 meters in length for flexible installation.

Physical Specifications and Cable Design

The Schneider 110XCA10100 provides a 75-ohm characteristic impedance for signal integrity. This expansion link cable weighs 0.65 kg for easy handling during installation. Each BNC connector features a nickel-plated body for corrosion resistance. You will find color-coded boots for identifying individual cables in multi-drop networks.

Electrical Characteristics and Energy Storage

This expansion link cable stores no electrical energy whatsoever. It contains no capacitors, batteries, or active electronic components. The cable simply transmits high-speed data pulses from one rack to another. A solid copper center conductor carries the S908 communication signal. Double braided shielding surrounds this conductor to reject electromagnetic interference.

Installation and Mechanical Durability

You can bend this cable without damaging internal conductors. The minimum bending radius is 65 mm for repeated flexing. Each BNC connector latches securely with a quarter-turn bayonet mechanism. These connectors provide audible and tactile feedback when properly seated. The Schneider 110XCA10100 withstands vibration and temperature extremes typical of industrial environments.

Connector Specifications

The BNC connectors feature a 50-ohm impedance rating for video and data signals. Each connector includes a crimp-type attachment to the cable jacket. You will find a rubber gasket inside the connector body for weather resistance. The center pin uses gold plating for low contact resistance. A strain relief boot prevents cable damage near the connector exit point.

System Integration Benefits

Transitioning to this cable simplifies multi-drop Quantum I/O configurations. You can place a remote drop up to 10 meters away from the main rack. This distance allows flexible cabinet layouts and equipment separation. Use the Schneider 110XCA10100 to link a CPU rack with a 140DAM59000C adapter. The cable supports daisy-chain topologies for multiple remote drops on one network.

Application and Use

For best results, terminate both ends of the network with 75-ohm terminators. Avoid routing this cable near high-power motor drives or welding equipment. The Schneider 110XCA10100 works exclusively with S908 Remote I/O systems. Use it in large conveyor systems, water treatment plants, or material handling lines.
