This type of cable, and the modules/field termination assemblies it is used with, is shown in Figure 3
below.
Figure 3 I/O 60-Channel SmartSlot Cable Type TC-603
This type of Trusted TM I/O SmartSlot Cable is designed for use with analogue or digital input modules
and is suitable for connecting input signals from a remote FTA to the module.
The modules and FTAs are matched pairs for this cable:
• T8402 uses T8802
• T8432 uses T8832
• T8433 uses T8833 (non-standard connections on this module need the 60 channel cable).
The chassis end of the multi-core cable is fitted with a 96-way type ‘C’ connector housed in a
single-width hood (TC-500). The other end of the cable is fitted with a 96-way type ‘R’ connector
housed in a single-width hood enabling the cable to be connected to an FTA.
The multi-core cable is stripped back 2.0m at the chassis end and 1.5m at the FTA end. Both ends
are then shrouded in nylon Rilgain sheathing. The Rilgain sheathing is cut with a heat gun to prevent
fraying. Joints between the Rilgain sheathing and the multi-core outer sheath are covered with
heatshrink sleeving.
At both the chassis and remote end, a sheathed braid allows the connector hood to be wired to safety
earth. At the remote end, the multicore screen drain is wired to a green wire to allow connection to
screen earth.
