Product Introduction
Signal cables are often overlooked in DCS maintenance, but using the wrong length or connector type can delay commissioning. The is a YOKOGAWA series signal cable, with the M25 suffix indicating a nominal 25-meter length. It is typically used for signal interconnection within YOKOGAWA CENTUM CS 3000 or CENTUM VP DCS environments, such as between control cabinets, I/O racks, or system peripheral units.
For maintenance and procurement teams, this cable is mainly sourced as an OEM replacement when the original cable is damaged, too short, or missing during system upgrades. Because AKB331 cables may have different connector pin counts and application positions, the exact mating equipment and connector type should be confirmed against the existing cable label or system drawing before ordering.

Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- 25-meter length: Suitable for longer cabinet-to-cabinet or rack-to-rack connections.
- Double-layer shielding: Helps reduce electromagnetic interference in industrial control environments.
- Factory-terminated connectors: Reduces wiring errors compared with field-made cables.
- Flame-retardant PVC insulation: Supports typical industrial control cabinet environments.
- OEM YOKOGAWA cable: Suitable for CENTUM CS 3000 / CENTUM VP maintenance, replacement, or spare stocking.
- Not recommended for: Substitution with non-AKB331 cables, random pin-count connectors, fieldbus trunk cables, or applications requiring exact connector verification. Always confirm the mating equipment before ordering.
Quality Transparency SOP
Signal cables should be verified for both mechanical integrity and connector compatibility.
- Incoming visual QA: Inspect factory sealing, cable jacket condition, connector shells, and strain relief.
- Label verification: Confirm full model and length marking match the required specification.
- Connector inspection: Check pins for bending, oxidation, missing pins, or mechanical damage.
- Continuity check: Verify conductor continuity and shielding continuity where applicable.
- Insulation check: Confirm no jacket damage, exposed conductors, or insulation breakdown.
- Final packing: Record serial/lot information, apply protective packaging, and seal with a condition label.
Technical Risk Avoidance
Confirm the exact connector type. AKB331 cables may have different connector configurations depending on the application. Installing a cable with mismatched connectors can prevent proper connection.
Verify the required length. M25 indicates a 25-meter cable. If the original cable is shorter or longer, confirm cable routing and bend radius before substitution.
Do not substitute with generic signal cables. DCS signal cables may require specific pin assignments, shielding, and connector types. Using non-OEM cables may cause communication faults or signal interference.
Check the mating equipment. Confirm which module, terminal board, or system unit the cable connects to before ordering.
Avoid sharp bends and tension. Maintain an appropriate bend radius and avoid pulling the cable by the connector during installation.
Buyer’s FAQ
Is this cable genuine YOKOGAWA?
Yes. The is supplied as an OEM YOKOGAWA CENTUM CS 3000 / CENTUM VP signal cable. We provide it as new original/new surplus unless otherwise stated.
What does M25 mean?
“M25” indicates a 25-meter cable length.
Can I use it for any YOKOGAWA system?
Not automatically. AKB331 cables are typically used in CENTUM CS 3000 / CENTUM VP environments, but the exact connector and application position must be confirmed.
What should I check before ordering?
Confirm the existing cable model, length, connector type, pin count, and mating equipment. If possible, share a photo of the original cable label.
What is the warranty and lead time?
Each cable carries a standard 12-month functional warranty from shipment, excluding damage from incorrect installation, connector mismatch, or mechanical damage. In-stock units typically ship within 1–3 business days after payment confirmation.
