Why Choose the Unitronics UAG-CX-XKPL2000 Long-Range I/O Expansion Adapter Kit?
The Unitronics UAG-CX-XKPL2000 is a long-range local I/O expansion adapter kit designed specifically for UniStream Built-in PLC controllers. As part of the powerful Uni-I/O expansion system, it enables controllers equipped with an I/O Expansion Jack to connect to additional rows of Uni-I/O modules located in remote control panels, machine sections or distributed automation installations.
Designed for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation engineers, the UAG-CX-XKPL2000 includes an integrated power supply and a 20 metre expansion cable, allowing reliable communication and power distribution between the controller and remotely mounted I/O modules. This makes it ideal for large-scale automation projects where I/O devices must be positioned significant distances from the PLC.
The kit comprises a base unit, an end unit and a connecting cable. Its integrated power supply supports up to 16 Uni-I/O modules, while multiple expansion adapters can be daisy-chained together to create highly scalable control systems without compromising performance.

Long-Range Expansion for Distributed Automation Systems
The UAG-CX-XKPL2000 enables UniStream controllers to communicate with remote I/O assemblies located up to 20 metres away. This allows engineers to position I/O modules in separate cabinets or machine sections while maintaining fast local communication and significantly reducing complex field wiring requirements.
Its integrated power supply supports up to 16 connected modules independently of the controller, helping create highly scalable automation systems. Up to five local expansion adapters may be daisy-chained together, allowing substantial I/O expansion across large industrial installations.
Typical Applications
- Distributed I/O architectures.
- Multi-cabinet automation systems.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
- Production line control systems.
- Process automation installations.
- Large UniStream control panels.
- Industrial automation projects requiring remote I/O placement.
