+---------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ RS-485 9-Pole Pin Configuration
Pin 1: Not Used Pin 6: C/C' (DGND - Data Ground)
Pin 2: RP (5 V, Diode Decoupled) Pin 7: VP (5 V, Power Supply Positive - Not Used)
Pin 3: A/A' (RxD/TxD-A Data A) Pin 8: B/B' (RxD/TxD-B Data B)
Pin 4: Not Used Pin 9: CNTR-B (Control Signal B)
Pin 5: CNTR-A (Control Signal A) Are you looking to extend your bus topology beyond standard distances? The effective safety bus length scales proportionally based on your wire cross-section—sometimes achieving up to four times the physical length—but check your specific HIMA engineering handbook for attenuation limits before running lines through high-interference conduits.
In field deployments of legacy HIQuad systems, we found that maintaining identical cable lengths across redundant central racks prevents slight phase shifts or timing offsets in high-speed safety loops. This cable features Faston 6.3 x 0.8 mm connectors alongside its core 9-pin RS-485 bus terminal connection points, providing solid physical retention that won’t vibrate loose.
Global Logistics, Customs, and Export Controls
Shipping parts for critical Emergency Shutdown (ESD) or Fire and Gas (F&G) systems means every hour of transit delay costs money. Our logistics team handles the paperwork to avoid customs holdups at international borders.
Trade Compliance Data
- Country of Origin: Germany
- Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Code: 8544.42.9090 (Insulated electric conductors, fitted with connectors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V)
- Export Control Classification Number (ECCN): EAR99 (No export license required to most destinations under standard conditions)
International Routing and Packaging
Because these cables form the backbone of industrial safety circuits, safeguarding the physical pins and internal shielding during transit is crucial. We package each BV7046-4 inside heavy anti-static wrap, followed by dual-walled shock boxes to shield it from rough handling. Typical priority air transit (via DHL Express, FedEx, or UPS) delivers directly to sites in North America, Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia within 3 to 5 business days.
Incoterms and B2B Trade Finance Options
We match our sales terms to your corporate procurement risk profile, offering standard international frameworks.

B2B Procurement FAQ
Is the BV7046-4 suitable for new installations?
Well, technically this part is classified as a legacy/discontinued line by the OEM, though it remains essential for maintaining existing, certified HIQuad H41q and H51q safety platforms. If you are designing a brand-new plant from scratch, you should verify with the latest HIMA HIMax or HIQuad X datasheets to see if your architecture requires updated fiber or modern Ethernet safety protocols.
How do I know the cable shielding is intact on a surplus or tested unit?
Every warehouse-cleared BV7046-4 undergoes loop resistance testing (< 0.1 Ω per meter) and continuity verification before sealing. This guarantees no micro-fractures exist inside the data lines that could cause intermittent bus faults.
Can you provide a Certificate of Origin (COO) for our customs entry?
Yes. Upon request during the quotation phase, we can provide formal Certificates of Origin, Certificates of Conformance, and detailed commercial packaging lists matching the unique serial numbers of the cables.
