Expert Installation FAQs

• What is the primary use case for this specific cable?

It is primarily used to connect a Quantum power supply or controller to a remote I/O drop rack that requires both data communication and significant auxiliary power for its modules.

• Why are there 40 individual pigtail leads?

The 40 leads correspond to the multiple signals and power lines required by the Quantum backplane protocol. Color-coding is essential for correctly terminating each wire to its designated terminal point, preventing wiring errors.

• Can I cut and splice this cable to a custom length?

We do not recommend cutting or splicing. Altering the cable can compromise its electrical characteristics, signal integrity, and safety ratings. It is best to use the standard 4.6-meter length or plan your layout accordingly.

• How does this "high-power" cable differ from a standard data cable?

This cable contains heavier-gauge conductors designed to carry the higher currents needed to power an entire rack of I/O modules, in addition to carrying high-speed data. A standard data cable cannot safely handle this power load.

• What is the most common mistake during installation?

The most common error is mis-wiring the pigtail leads to the terminal block due to not following the color-code diagram. Always double-check each connection against the system's wiring guide before applying power.
