Product Overview
Downtime on a Modicon line rarely starts with a controller failure. It starts with a loose remote bus connection. The 170XTS00900 from Schneider Electric is a terminal connector kit built for exactly that weak point, part of the Modicon Momentum series and supplied as a complete Interbus 9-way connection set.
Each kit contains one SUB-D 9 male connector and one SUB-D 9 female connector, so you can rebuild a remote bus cable link in one step instead of hunting for matching halves. At 54 grams and just 1.18 inches high, the kit is compact enough for dense cabinet layouts.

What These Ratings Mean on the Floor
The 95% non-condensing humidity rating covers wash-down-adjacent and humid plant rooms where condensation is controlled but moisture is constant. The 1000 m altitude limit matters for sites in highland regions, where air density changes how cabinets shed heat. Natural cooling means no fan or airflow path is required, which removes a common maintenance item.
Compatibility Across Modicon Platforms
The 170XTS00900 is listed for the Modicon Quantum and Modicon Premium automation platforms, and it sits within the Modicon Momentum series. That spread lets you standardise one connector kit across mixed legacy cabinets instead of stocking several part numbers.
Integration Note
Wiring into an Interbus remote bus segment may require an external gateway or connection module depending on your network architecture. Confirm cables and gateways with your supplier before ordering.
Where This Kit Earns Its Place
Remote Bus Cable Repairs
A damaged SUB-D shell or bent pin on a remote bus drop takes a whole segment offline. Keeping a 170XTS00900 on the shelf turns a multi-day sourcing problem into a same-shift fix.
Mixed-Platform Retrofits
When a Quantum cabinet feeds a Premium line, technicians often need matching connector halves on both ends. This kit supplies both in one package, which simplifies the bill of materials.
Harsh Plant Environments
With a 0 to 60 degrees Celsius ambient range and 95% non-condensing humidity tolerance, the kit suits process areas where temperature swings and moisture are normal operating conditions.
Selection Checklist
Before you order, confirm three things: the connector gender your cable end needs, the platform you are connecting to, and the ambient conditions at the install point. If you are unsure which Interbus connector kit fits your Momentum, Quantum or Premium setup, the team at Oil AutoTech provides hands-on technical selection help.
Oil AutoTech supplies spares when you need them, with fast dispatch, worldwide. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with Oil AutoTech before ordering.
Maintenance and Reliability
Inspect SUB-D connectors periodically for bent pins, loose retention screws and corrosion on the shell. Keep spare kits in stock rather than relying on overnight sourcing during a shutdown. Because the kit uses natural cooling and no moving parts, wear is limited to the connector interface itself.
