Product Overview
The 170MCI02110 is a round shielded communication cable from Schneider Electric’s Modicon Momentum series. It links Momentum I/O bases using a 20-pin male connector on one end and a 20-pin female connector on the other. For maintenance engineers, this is a practical drop-in link: 2 meters of reach, 30 V rating, and 1 A current capacity.
Key Parameters That Matter on the Floor
Three specs drive day-to-day reliability. First, the 20-pin male-to-female pinout matches Momentum I/O base-to-base connections, so replacement is straightforward. Second, foil plus drain shielding limits electromagnetic interference in cabinets crowded with drives. Third, the PVC jacket and 26 AWG copper conductors balance flexibility with durability during routing.

Where It Fits
Use the 170MCI02110 wherever Momentum I/O bases sit close together but need a clean signal path. Typical scenarios include panel-to-panel links inside control rooms, base-to-base connections in retrofit cabinets, and short runs between Momentum racks in packaging or process lines. The 2-meter length suits most cabinet layouts without excess slack.
Installation and Service Notes
Route the cable away from high-power conductors where possible, and respect the bend radius to protect the foil shield. Confirm the connector orientation before mating; the 20-pin male and female ends are keyed. For fieldbus integration, note that wiring into MODBUS networks may require an external gateway or connection module. Confirm cables and gateways with your supplier before ordering.
Maintenance and Reliability
Inspect connectors for bent pins and shield continuity during scheduled outages. The PVC jacket resists common industrial oils, but check for abrasion at cabinet entry points. Operating within -10°C to +60°C keeps performance stable. Keep a spare on the shelf: fast dispatch, worldwide means less downtime when a cable fails.
Selection Checklist
Before ordering, verify your Momentum I/O base model, connector gender, and required length. The 170MCI02110 is RoHS compliant. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with Oil AutoTech before ordering. Contact Oil AutoTech today for pricing and availability.
