Figure 1 I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-801-02
This type of Trusted TM I/O Companion Slot Cable is designed for use with the T8442 Speed Monitor
module and is required for connections to a T8846 Speed Input FTA and up to three T8891 Speed
Output FTAs. This is an internal low smoke low halogen cable. There is no SmartSlot version of this
cable.
The chassis end of the multi-core cable is fitted with a 96-way type ‘C’ connector housed in a
double-width hood. The other ends of the cable are fitted with six 20-way screw-fit 3.5mm pitch female
header connectors; three to the T8846 and one to each T8891. The cable is only available with three
T8891 tails in the arrangement shown in the figure above.
The cables are assembled from individual cores and screened twisted pairs and are shrouded in nylon
Megamide sheathing. The ends of the sheathing are fitted with heat-shrink sleeving to prevent fraying.
At the chassis end, a sheathed braid allows the connector hood to be wired to safety earth.
