ICS Triplex TC-201-02-4M5 I/O Companion Slot, Int, 40CH
Description：
TC-201-02-4M5 is designed as ICS Triplex I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-201. TC-201-02-4M5 is use with analogue or digital input modules and is suitable for connecting input signals from an internal FTA to the module. 

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 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 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. 
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 multi-core screen drain is wired to a green wire to allow connection to screen earth. 

These types of cable provide connection facilities between the Trusted analogue and digital I/O modules, and Trusted Field Termination Assemblies (FTAs) or Trusted Versatile Field Termination Assemblies (VFTAs) as required. Cables are also available with a ‘flying lead’ at one end to allow connection to conditioned terminals. 

The cables are manufactured to user’s requirements; therefore length and type of cable insulation must be specified. Length must be specified to the nearest 0.5 m in the format xmx, e.g. 2m0 for a cable length of 2.0 m. This detail must be added to the end of the part number. Note that some cable lengths are preferred options and may be easier to obtain; please refer to Rockwell Automation for details. The type of cable insulation forms part of the cable part number and is denoted by 02 for Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) or 03 for UL Certified cable material. 02 is also flame retardant to IEC 60332-3 Cat A. When ordering cables, it is recommended that the user supplies the details as shown in Table 1. 

The maximum recommended I/O cable length is 15 m. Cables longer than this may be specified if necessary but may suffer from voltage drop, offset, crosstalk and noise and will present materials handling problems. 

Internal cables are designed for cables where they are terminated in adjacent enclosures. If the cable needs to leave the enclosure environment, the external cable has more protection. Note that the ‘external’ cables are not armoured and are not suitable for truly external use and must still be treated with care. These cables will need protection when drawn through a cable route, and should also not be pulled by the connector(s). They should enter cabinets through transit/compression blocks and cannot be glanded.
