Schneider 170MCI10001 Interbus Cable 1m

170MCI10001 Interbus Cable for Modicon Quantum

Product Introduction

The 170MCI10001 is a dedicated communication cable from Schneider Electric, and it belongs to the Modicon Quantum series. Specifically, this cable supports the Interbus protocol, which ensures deterministic and reliable data transfer for fieldbus applications. Its main purpose is to serve as a connection accessory for communication modules, so it plays an essential role within the Quantum ecosystem. Moreover, this product comes as a pre-connected assembly, which significantly simplifies the installation process. Therefore, the 170MCI10001 is a practical choice for system integrators and maintenance engineers alike.

Technical Specifications

This cable measures 1 meter in length, and it features a black outer jacket for a professional appearance. Schneider Electric has categorized it as a connection accessory specifically for the Modicon Quantum range. For instance, its key parameters include the Interbus protocol support, a lightweight design of only 74 grams, and compliance with RoHS environmental standards. In addition, the 170MCI10001 uses high-quality materials to ensure signal integrity over its entire length. Furthermore, it contains no toxic heavy metals or mercury, which makes it an environmentally responsible component. Consequently, this cable meets both performance and sustainability requirements for modern industrial automation.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The Schneider 170MCI10001 operates reliably across a defined range of environmental conditions. For example, its ambient operating temperature spans from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, while its storage temperature extends from 0 to 50 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the cable can withstand maximum humidity levels of 80% RH without any condensation, both during operation and storage. Additionally, it supports installations at altitudes up to 1000 meters above sea level without any derating. However, users should note that this cable is designed exclusively for indoor environments that are free from corrosive chemicals. Therefore, the 170MCI10001 delivers consistent performance in typical control cabinet settings. Besides that, its compact dimensions allow for flexible routing within crowded panels.

Installation and Integration Guide

Installing the 170MCI10001 is a straightforward task, even for engineers with limited fieldbus experience. First, power down the entire control system before you connect any cables. Next, locate the designated Interbus port on your Quantum communication module. Then, firmly insert the cable's connector into that port until you hear a positive click. After that, secure the cable along its path using appropriate cable ties or ducts to prevent strain. Finally, power up the system and verify communication status through your programming software. For instance, always refer to the official Schneider Electric installation manual for specific CPU or module configurations. Moreover, proper cable routing minimizes electromagnetic interference and ensures long-term reliability. In short, following these steps will help you achieve a trouble-free installation every time.

Packaging and Logistics Information

Every 170MCI10001 leaves the factory in individual packaging designed to protect it during transit. Specifically, each package contains exactly one cable, and its dimensions are 1.5 cm in height, 13.0 cm in width, and 16.0 cm in length. Furthermore, this product is classified as a PCE (piece) unit, which simplifies inventory management. For larger projects, bulk packaging (S03 type) is available upon request, and that option holds up to 100 cables per carton. Meanwhile, we handle all shipments through our trusted logistics partners: FedEx, UPS, and DHL. Therefore, you can expect fast and trackable delivery regardless of your destination. Besides that, the packaging materials are recyclable, aligning with Schneider Electric's sustainability commitments.
