It is not compatible with newer series like the Q or iQ-R without an appropriate adapter, which may not support all functions.</p> <strong>Can I use a standard DB25 serial cable instead of the QC50B?</strong><br><p>No, it is not recommended. While the connectors are physically the same (DB25), the pinout of the QC50B is specific to Mitsubishi’s communication protocol between its PLC and peripherals. Using a standard straight-through or null-modem serial cable can cause communication errors or even damage the ports.</p> <strong>What is the maximum reliable length for this type of communication cable?</strong><br><p>The QC50B itself is 5 meters long. Generally, for the RS-232C communication used with these older PLCs, the maximum recommended cable length is around 15 meters (approx. 50 feet) to maintain signal integrity. Using extension cables beyond this length can lead to unreliable data transfer.</p> <p><em>profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
