Description
Description
The Woodward 5417-040 is a specialized 10-foot analog interface cable assembly engineered for the Netcon 4700 control system architecture. This component serves as the essential physical bridge for signal transmission between analog input/output modules and field termination assemblies. Designed for high-reliability industrial applications, including gas turbine management and petrochemical processing, the 5417-040 minimizes signal degradation and provides robust noise immunity to maintain precise control loop integrity.
Features
- Optimized for Netcon 4700 series analog I/O signal routing.
- Shielded twisted-pair construction to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) in harsh industrial environments.
- Integrated strain relief at connector interfaces to enhance durability against vibration and mechanical stress.
- Standardized 10-foot (3.05 m) length for consistent cabinet-to-terminal-block wiring.
- Rated for wide-range thermal operation, supporting deployment in demanding field conditions.
Applications
This cable assembly is primarily deployed within Woodward Netcon 4700 control cabinets. It is commonly used in critical infrastructure sectors such as power generation, oil and gas processing, and heavy industrial automation where reliable analog signal acquisition is required for turbine or compressor control.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure system power is isolated before installing or removing the cable assembly to prevent potential signal spikes.
- Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and variable frequency drive (VFD) cabling to maintain signal integrity and reduce EMI exposure.
- Verify that the connector headers are fully seated and secured to prevent intermittent contact or signal noise.
- Avoid excessive bending or tight radius routing near the connector strain relief to prevent long-term wire fatigue.
- Use appropriate cable management (e.g., cable ties or wire ducts) to secure the 10-foot length, ensuring it does not obstruct cooling airflow within the control cabinet.
FAQ
Is the 5417-040 compatible with other Woodward control series?
This cable is specifically designed for the Netcon 4700 series. Please verify your specific control system documentation or hardware compatibility list before installation.
What is the primary purpose of the shielding in this cable?
The shielding is critical for protecting low-level analog signals from electromagnetic interference, which is common in industrial environments containing motors, switchgear, and power electronics.
