Industrial Network Solution – Schneider Electric (Modicon) MA-0186-100 | Quantum Series
Where This Product Is Used
The MODICON MA-0186-100 Coaxial Cable is engineered for mission-critical industrial communication networks. It is widely deployed in the following environments:
- Modicon Quantum PLC Backplane Networks — connecting remote I/O drops via Modbus Plus (MB+) or S908 coaxial bus topology
- Oil & Gas Processing Plants — SCADA and DCS backbone cabling in hazardous-area control rooms
- Automotive Assembly Lines — high-speed, noise-immune data links between PLCs and distributed I/O racks
- Water & Wastewater Treatment Facilities — long-distance coaxial runs between pump stations and central control systems
- Power Generation & Utilities — substation automation and protection relay communication networks
- Pharmaceutical & Food Processing — GMP-compliant control networks requiring shielded, low-loss signal transmission

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- OEM-Exact Fit — factory-specified cable for Modicon Quantum remote I/O drops; eliminates compatibility guesswork
- Low Signal Attenuation — 50 Ω impedance matched to MB+ network requirements, minimizing reflections and data errors over long runs
- Robust EMI Shielding — braided shield construction rejects electrical noise from VFDs, motors, and high-voltage switchgear common in industrial environments
- Plug-and-Play Termination — pre-terminated BNC connectors reduce installation time and eliminate field-crimping errors
- Proven Longevity — Modicon Quantum architecture remains active in thousands of global installations; this cable supports both legacy maintenance and new greenfield builds

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the MA-0186-100 compatible with Modbus Plus (MB+) networks?
A: Yes. This cable is the OEM-specified coaxial cable for Modicon Quantum MB+ and S908 remote I/O networks, terminated with standard BNC connectors.
Q: Can I use this cable with non-Modicon equipment?
A: The cable is a standard 50 Ω RG-58 coaxial cable with BNC termination. It can be used in any application requiring this specification, though it is optimized for Modicon Quantum network topology.
Q: What is the maximum network segment length using this cable?
A: Modbus Plus supports up to 450 m (1,500 ft) per segment with up to 32 nodes. The MA-0186-100 (100 ft / 30.5 m) is ideal for inter-rack drops within a segment.
Q: Do you offer custom cable lengths?
A: We stock standard Modicon cable lengths. For custom requirements, contact our team for sourcing options.
Q: Is documentation or a datasheet available?
A: Yes. Request the Schneider Electric product datasheet and installation guide via support@konmask.com.
