140XCA71709
Schneider Electric
Overview
The 140XCA71709 is a Backplane expander cable in the Modicon Quantum automation platform range from Schneider Electric. It is engineered for industrial automation duties within the Modicon Quantum ecosystem.
Application & Technical Notes
As a backplane expander cable, the 140XCA71709 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where Modicon Quantum equipment is installed. It mechanically and electrically unifies the controller, power supply and I/O modules, providing the backplane bus and mounting structure.
Key published characteristics include a 24V DC rating, an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (-20°C to 60°C); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within Range -40°C to 85°C. Seat every module firmly on the backplane, observe module order where required, and check the bus connector integrity. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the 140XCA71709, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine Schneider Electric stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your Modicon Quantum installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.
