Configured for signal interconnection and data transmission within Yokogawa control and measurement architectures, the Yokogawa AKB331-M010/HF (AKB331-M010/HF Signal Cable) provides direct physical/electrical execution.

Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix

• AKB331: Base model designation for the multi-core signal cable assembly designed for Yokogawa I/O and node interfacing.
• -M010: Length specifier indicating a total cable length of 10 meters.
• /HF: Suffix indicating specific construction features, shielding parameters, or halogen-free insulation compliance.

Hardware Specifications

4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol

The cable assembly provides robust signal transmission for multi-channel analog and digital loops, ensuring low-resistance paths for 4-20 mA HART signals and control voltage distributions. Comprehensive foil and braid shielding suppresses electromagnetic and radio frequency interference across the 10-meter run, preventing crosstalk and ground loop voltage coupling between field termination panels and system I/O modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the AKB331-M010/HF cable be custom-cut or spliced in the field to a shorter length?

A: Field modification or cutting of pre-terminated multi-pin cables is not recommended as it compromises the factory pinout integrity, shielding continuity, and connector crimping.

Q: What are the maximum electrical ratings supported by the cable conductors?

A: The cable is rated for up to 300 V working voltage with a maximum current carrying capacity of up to 3 A per pin.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Route the cable carefully through designated cable trays, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical pinching to protect the internal 50-pin conductor bundles.
• Connect the 50-pin male plugs securely to the respective module or terminal block connectors, tightening locking screws completely.
• Ensure that cable shields are properly grounded at the designated enclosure entry points to maintain electromagnetic interference protection.
