The Emerson KJ4002X1-BF2 (Part No. 12P3866X012) provides vital physical flexibility for DeltaV Distributed Control Systems (DCS). This high-capacity bus extender cable bridges the gap between I/O carriers, allowing engineers to distribute 8-wide I/O modules across multiple rack levels or separate enclosures. It maintains the integrity of the 12.6 VDC LocalBus power and communication signals over a 4-foot distance. We supply this component as 100% Brand New, ensuring factory-spec signal conductivity and connector tension for long-term system stability.
The KJ4002X1-BF2 manages high-current power distribution and high-density data signals:

Optimized Cabinet Footprint: Standard DeltaV backplanes often limit horizontal expansion. This extender cable allows you to move I/O carriers to the next DIN rail or a separate cabinet section, maximizing every inch of available space.
Maintains High Amperage: Unlike generic data cables, the KJ4002X1-BF2 handles up to 15 Amps of LocalBus power. It ensures that downstream I/O modules receive consistent voltage without dangerous heat buildup or voltage drops.
Survives Harsh Environments: With a G3-rated coating and a wide temperature range, this cable resists corrosion and mechanical fatigue in chemical plants or offshore platforms where atmospheric contaminants are prevalent.
Simplified Maintenance Access: By extending the bus, you can position I/O modules away from high-voltage components or crowded wiring ducts, providing technicians with clear access for diagnostics and hot-swapping.
Q: Can I daisy-chain multiple KJ4002X1-BF2 cables to reach longer distances?
A: Emerson does not recommend daisy-chaining extender cables. Excessive length increases impedance and can cause voltage drops on the 12.6 VDC rail, potentially leading to intermittent I/O communication errors or module resets.
Q: Does this cable support both S-Series and M-Series DeltaV hardware?
A: Yes. The 44-pin LocalBus architecture remains consistent across both series, allowing this cable to extend connectivity for various 8-wide and 4-wide carrier configurations.
Q: Are the connectors locking type?
A: The 44-pin connectors feature secure friction-fit and mechanical alignment pins. For high-vibration environments (up to 0.5g), we recommend ensuring the cable is properly supported by cable ties to prevent strain on the carrier interface.
Q: What is the lead time for this specific part?
A: We typically ship the KJ4002X1-BF2 within 1-2 weeks. We utilize FEDEX or DHL for all international shipments to ensure tracked, door-to-door delivery.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
