Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main purpose of this cable?
It links a main Quantum CPU rack to a remote backplane expander chassis. This allows you to add more I/O modules in a separate location.
Can I use a longer or shorter cable?
No. Use only the official 140XCA71709 3-meter cable. Different lengths can cause signal timing errors in the system.
What is a common installation error?
Forcing the connectors. Align them carefully before pushing to connect. Bent pins can damage both the cable and the unit.
Does this cable need special configuration?
No configuration is needed. It is a passive hardware link. The system recognizes the connected modules automatically.
How do I know if I need this cable?
You need it if you are installing a 140XBE10000 Backplane Expander unit to create a second chassis for your Quantum system.
