Features:
- Factory-Terminated Reliability
- Industrial-Grade Signal Integrity
- Optimized 10-Foot Length for Cabinet Wiring
The ABB NKLS01-10 comes pre-terminated from ABB's factory, eliminating field wiring errors and reducing installation time.Each ABB NKLS01-10 is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure consistent impedance and signal integrity. Unlike field-assembled cables, this prefabricated assembly guarantees proper contact alignment with SPNIS21 and NTCL01 modules, minimizing intermittent connection issues that plague legacy DCS installations.
The ABB NKLS01-10 features premium shielding and a heavy-duty PVC jacket engineered to resist harsh industrial environments.Control rooms and cable trays are often filled with electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby high-voltage equipment. This cable is built with robust shielding to block external noise, protecting the critical INFI-Net communication loop. Its durable PVC jacket also resists moisture, abrasion, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring uninterrupted data flow.
The ABB NKLS01-10 provides a 10-foot (3.05m) length specifically chosen for connecting modules to termination units within or between adjacent control cabinets.
Longer cables create unnecessary slack that complicates cable management and increases EMI pickup; shorter cables may not reach between racks. The ABB NKLS01-10 strikes a practical balance, allowing clean routing through cable trays while maintaining signal quality. This length matches other NKLS series cables, enabling uniform replacement across multiple HCU nodes.
The NKLS01-10 ABB SPNIS Cable Assembly may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Operating Temperature Range:The ABB NKLS01-10 functions reliably from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F). This matches the SPNIS21 and NTCL01 modules, allowing the cable to be routed inside sealed control cabinets without active cooling. Below 0°C, the PVC jacket becomes brittle; above 70°C, dielectric properties degrade, increasing bit error rates on the Cnet. For unheated outdoor enclosures, install a cabinet heater or use a different cable with extended temperature rating (though ABB offers no direct substitute).
- Storage Conditions:When not in use, store the ABB NKLS01-10 between -20°C and +60°C (-4°F to +140°F) with relative humidity below 80% non-condensing. Long-term storage above 60°C accelerates PVC plasticizer migration, leading to connector cracking. Below -20°C, the cable's bend radius permanently increases, making installation difficult. Avoid storing the ABB NKLS01-10 near ozone sources (electric motors, UV lamps) as this causes surface cracking.
- EMI/RFI Immunity:The ABB NKLS01-10 features an overall braid shield with >85% optical coverage. This shielding protects Cnet communication (10 MHz or 2 MHz) from interference generated by nearby variable frequency drives, DC power supplies, and radio transmitters. However, the ABB NKLS01-10 is not a double-shielded cable; for runs passing within 15cm of high-power VFD output cables (＞100 kW), additional ferrite cores may be required to avoid CRC errors.
- Pollution & Chemical Resistance:The ABB NKLS01-10's PVC jacket resists mild acids, alkalis, oils, and greases commonly found in industrial control rooms. It is not rated for direct exposure to solvents (acetone, MEK), hydraulic fluids, or fuel oils. For installations in pulp & paper mills or chemical processing areas where airborne chlorides or sulfur compounds exist, inspect the ABB NKLS01-10 annually for jacket hardening or connector corrosion. No special chemical resistance certification (e.g., UL 50E) applies.
- CE Marking (EMC & RoHS):The ABB NKLS01-10 carries CE marking for electromagnetic compatibility under Directive 2014/30/EU. It meets emission limits per EN 61000-6-4 (industrial environments) and immunity per EN 61000-6-2. Additionally, the ABB NKLS01-10 complies with RoHS II (2011/65/EU), meaning lead, mercury, cadmium, and other restricted substances are below threshold levels. For exports to the EU, include the manufacturer's Declaration of Incorporation if the cable is sold as a standalone component.
- Low Voltage Directive (LVD):Although the ABB NKLS01-10 carries signals at typically 5V or 24V DC (Cnet levels), it is constructed with 300V AC rated insulation. This over-specification ensures safety margins for incidental contact with energized 110/230V AC control wiring. The ABB NKLS01-10 follows IEC 61010-1 (safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use), specifically Clause 6.7 for wiring and connectors. No formal UL or CSA listing exists; installers in North America must verify local acceptance.
- Flammability Rating:The PVC jacket of the ABB NKLS01-10 is self-extinguishing per IEC 60332-1-2 (vertical flame test). It is not rated for plenum installation (e.g., CMP or CMR per NEC 800). Do not route the ABB NKLS01-10 through building air-handling spaces unless enclosed in metal conduit. For riser or plenum applications, replace the ABB NKLS01-10 with appropriately rated cabling and field-terminate to NTCL01's screw terminal block (requires engineering review).
- Legacy DCS Maintenance:The ABB NKLS01-10 is essential for keeping Bailey INFI 90 and Net 90 systems operational. Many power plants, water treatment facilities, and chemical plants still run these platforms 20+ years after installation. The cable allows replacement of worn or damaged interconnects without migrating the entire control system.
- Symphony Plus HCU Assembly:Within ABB's modern Symphony Plus system (HR Series), the ABB NKLS01-10 connects SPNIS21 network interface modules to NTCL01 loop termination units. This forms the physical backbone of Cnet segments, enabling communication between multiple HCUs and the plant's higher-level Ethernet network via SPIET800 or SPIPT800 gateways.
- System Expansion & Node Addition:When adding new I/O nodes to an existing INFI-Net loop, engineers use the ABB NKLS01-10 to integrate additional SPNIS21/NTCL01 pairs. Its 10-foot length accommodates adjacent rack installations while preserving standard signaling characteristics, ensuring the new node participates correctly in exception report and token-passing protocols.
