Eaton KQJ Cable Limiter - Compact RoHS Compliant
Part Number: KQJ
Quick Summary
The KQJ cable limiter is a protective device from Eaton that guards cables and prevents fault propagation in control panels. This addresses the common pain point of cable damage leading to unexpected downtime and costly repairs. It is RoHS compliant, aligning with environmental and regulatory requirements for electrical assemblies. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to faster compliance checks and reduced rework during integration. Compact form factors and simple mounting streamline installation in crowded panels, while reliable RoHS-compliant materials help reduce lifecycle costs. As a Bussmann series product, it integrates with Eaton protection portfolios and supports standard wiring and conduit schemes across multiple panels and line-side wiring scenarios. This helps engineers meet reliability metrics without redesigning control architectures.
