产品介绍
The Yokogawa KS1-20 Signal Cable is a high-performance, shielded signal cable designed for industrial automation and process control environments. As a heavy-duty variant within Yokogawa’s KS series, the KS1-20 provides enhanced signal integrity and mechanical strength for critical applications where signal reliability is non-negotiable.
This cable is specifically engineered for use in Yokogawa Distributed Control Systems (DCS), field instrumentation, and high-noise environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a major concern. The KS1-20 is widely recognized for its robust construction, superior shielding, and long-term operational durability, even in harsh industrial conditions such as petrochemical plants, /fshore rigs, and power stations.
Its thick conductor, reinforced insulation, and double shielding make it suitable for both analog and digital signal transmission across extended distances, ensuring minimal signal loss and high resistance to noise.

常见问题 (FAQ)
1. What is the main difference between KS1-10 and KS1-20 cables?
The KS1-20 uses a thicker conductor (1.25 mm² vs. 0.75 mm²) and dual shielding, /fering better noise protection and signal performance over long distances.
2. Can the KS1-20 be used for both analog and digital signals?
Yes, it is suitable for both analog (e.g., 4–20 mA) and digital protocols (e.g., RS-485, Modbus).
3. Is this cable flame-retardant?
Yes, the standard sheath is flame-retardant PVC, and LSZH versions are available for fire-critical zones.
4. Can I use this cable outdoors?
While designed for industrial interiors, KS1-20 can be used outdoors if installed in protective conduits or trays.
5. Does this cable support HART communication?
Yes, its low capacitance and shielding quality make it ideal for HART-enabled instrumentation.
6. What is the expected lifespan / the KS1-20?
Under normal industrial conditions, the cable can last 10–15 years or more without significant degradation.
7. Is it compatible with third-party control systems?
Yes, it can be used with other systems as long as voltage and insulation parameters match.
8. Can I terminate the cable myself?
Yes, standard tools and connectors compatible with 1.25 mm² cores are sufficient for field termination.
9. Is the shielding grounded?
The cable includes a drain wire for proper grounding / the shield to reduce interference.
10. Is customization possible for color coding or length?
Yes, Yokogawa and its distributors /fer custom color coding and roll lengths based on project requirements.
