Trusted TM I/O SmartSlot Cables - TC-500
Issue 7 Aug 2006
This document provides summary information for the different types of Trusted TM I/O Cables available for use in
SmartSlot applications.
The SmartSlot I/O Cable enables all I/O and power connections between the SmartSlot I/O modules and the
associated termination assemblies. Termination assemblies may be located internally within the cabinet, or externally
in remote termination bays. Cables for use in internal applications have the standard sheathing replaced with Vidaflex
for greater flexibility.
The illustration below shows a typical SmartSlot I/O Cable for internal use with a standard Field Termination Assembly
(FTA). Other versions are available, as standard, with different connectors for use with the Versatile Field termination
Assembly (VFTA) and also with flying leads to facilitate connection to other conditioned termination devices.
In order to ensure that all Safety System applications are covered, Trusted TM I/O Cables are available, as standard, in
either PVC or Low Smoke Low Halogen (LSLH). A code within the cable part number enables the user to specify the
type of cable required, e.g. 01 denotes PVC and 02 denotes LSLH.
Due to the flexibility of Trusted
TM I/O Cable design, it is possible to order cables of any length to within 0.1m. The
required length of the cable is specified by appending a code at the end of the part number, e.g. 2m5 for a required
length of 2.5m. The maximum recommended length is 15m.
As an example, the part number for a LSLH SmartSlot I/O Cable used for connecting analogue or digital input modules
to an internal FTA and 2.5m in length would be - TC-501-02-2m5
The list of cables currently available may be found overleaf. For details of the selection of cables for particular
applications, refer to Product Description PD-TC500.
