Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the purpose of the KJ4002X1-BF2?
A: It relocates the DeltaV I/O module’s base-slot connections downward via a 4 ft cable to clear rack obstructions.

Q: Can it be installed while the rack is powered?
A: Yes—snap-in latches and keyed connectors support hot-swap installation with minimal risk.

Q: Does the cable support both bus and field I/O signals?
A: Yes—the 60-pin connector carries both bus communications and I/O conductors through shielded pairs.

Q: How robust is the cable jacket?
A: The PVC jacket is rated for oil, chemical, and UV exposure, suitable for industrial cabinet environments.

Q: What temperature range can it handle?
A: It operates from –20 °C to +60 °C and stores safely from –40 °C to +85 °C.

Q: Is the cable shield grounded?
A: Yes—the foil and braid are tied to the connector shell for continuous ground continuity.

Q: How much space does the extender require?
A: It occupies one base-slot footprint but shifts the mating face 4 ft below the module.

Q: Can I use multiple extenders in one rack?
A: Yes—you can deploy several to clear multiple module rows or mixed I/O types.

Q: Does it support redundant DeltaV bus configurations?
A: The extender passes both primary and secondary bus lines for fully redundant I/O connectivity.

Q: What is the assembly’s weight?
A: The complete cable assembly weighs 0.44 kg.
