Figure 14 I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-216
This type of Trusted I/O Companion Slot Cable is designed for use with digital and analogue
output modules and is suitable for connecting output signals from the module to internal
terminals. Power connections are integral with this type of cable.
The chassis end of the multi-core cable is fitted with two 96-way type ‘C’ connectors housed
in a double-width hood. The other end of the cable is left as a ‘flying lead’ enabling the cable
to be terminated as required, e.g. connected to conditioned field terminals.
The flying leads are sleeved with identity ferrules marked CH1, CH2, CH3 etc. for channel
terminations or V FIELD GRP1 to V FIELD GRP5 for group field supply terminations or V FIELD
RTNGRP1 to V FIELD RTNGRP5 for group reference terminations.
The multi-core cable is stripped back 1.5 m at both ends, then shrouded in nylon Rilgain
sheathing. The ends of the sheathing are heated or fitted with over sleeving to help prevent
fraying.
