Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a standard RS-485 cable instead of 990NAD21110?
A: No. Modbus Plus uses a proprietary token-passing protocol over a specific cable impedance. Standard RS-485 cables are not compatible.
Q: Is 990NAD21120 (2m) interchangeable with 990NAD21110 (1m)?
A: Functionally yes, if the extra cable length is acceptable. Ensure total drop length does not exceed 6m.
Q: Does Konmask.com offer warranty on this cable?
A: Yes — 90-day warranty on all stocked items. Contact us for details.
Q: Can this cable be used with Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP systems?
A: No. This cable is specific to Modbus Plus (MB+) networks only.
