Function & Application

• Provides a direct connection between a Quantum analog I/O module's baseplate and a remote sensor/actuator interface
• The HE-16 connector is a keyed, locking connector that ensures proper orientation and a secure connection
• Shielding protects sensitive analog signals (e.g., 4-20mA, 0-10V) from electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Plug-and-play design eliminates field wiring errors and significantly reduces installation time
• Commonly used in distributed I/O applications where the Quantum rack is located away from the process field devices

Typical Use Case

• Connecting a Quantum 16-channel analog input module (e.g., 140ACI04000) to a field marshalling cabinet
• Linking analog output modules to control valve manifolds or variable speed drive terminals
• Extending I/O connections within a control panel in an organized and reliable manner

Packaging & Shipping

• The ABFS16H200 cable ships as one complete, coiled unit.
• Typically packaged in a plastic bag or box to prevent tangling and damage to connectors.
• Worldwide express shipping via FedEx, UPS, and DHL available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is an HE-16 connector? It is a specific, keyed industrial connector type with 16 pins used extensively in Schneider Electric/Modicon systems for analog I/O connections.
• What is this cable used for? It is used to connect Quantum analog I/O modules to remote terminal blocks or interface units, carrying analog signals like 4-20mA.
• Why is the cable shielded? The shielding is critical for analog signals to prevent electrical noise from corrupting the measurement or control signal, ensuring accuracy.
• Is it really plug-and-play? Yes, with pre-attached connectors on both ends, it simply plugs into the corresponding HE-16 ports on the Quantum baseplate and the field interface.
• Can it be used for digital signals? While electrically possible, it is specifically designed and optimized for analog signal integrity. Digital I/O typically uses different cable types.
• What does RoHS compliance mean? It means the cable is manufactured without certain hazardous substances (like lead), making it safer for the environment and disposal.
• What is the advantage over making my own cable? It guarantees correct pinout, includes proper shielding, uses industrial-grade connectors, and saves significant labor time.
