Description
Foxboro P0916DC
- Technical Specifications
- Type: Terminal Cable Assembly
- Cable Length: Typically 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet), as indicated in product descriptions
- Connectors: Designed with connectors compatible with Foxboro I/A Series terminal blocks and modules (e.g., FBM2xx series terminal connector on one end; specific connector on the other end depending on the application)
- Compatibility: Foxboro I/A Series terminal blocks and I/O modules
- Environmental: Suitable for industrial environments with typical operating temperature ranges of 0 °C to 60 °C and tolerance to humidity and vibration
- Materials: High-quality conductors (copper), industrial-grade insulation (PVC or other flame-retardant materials), and robust connector housings
- Functional Features
- Pre-assembled and tested for reliable performance, reducing installation time and wiring errors
- Provides secure, shielded connections to maintain signal integrity and noise immunity
- Designed for easy plug-and-play installation in I/A Series systems
- Supports both analog and digital signal connections, depending on the application
- Application Scenarios
- Connecting I/O modules to terminal blocks in DCS cabinets
- Linking field device marshalling panels to I/A Series I/O modules
- Applications requiring pre-engineered, high-reliability cabling in harsh industrial settings
- Performance Parameters
- Maintains signal integrity over the specified cable length for both analog and digital signals
- Provides shielding and insulation to minimize noise and crosstalk
- Rated for industrial voltages and currents typical of I/A Series I/O
- Material and Structural Characteristics
- Copper conductors ensure low resistance and high conductivity
- Insulation and jacket materials are selected for flame resistance and durability
- Connector housings are designed for secure mating and resistance to vibration
- Working Principle
- The cable assembly transmits electrical signals between terminal blocks and I/O modules through insulated conductors. Shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, while connectors ensure proper alignment and contact pressure for reliable signal transfer.
- Installation Requirements
- Route the cable away from high-power and high-frequency cables to minimize interference
- Ensure connectors are fully seated and secured to prevent accidental disconnection
- Observe minimum bend radius limits to avoid damaging the cable
- Use cable management systems to secure the cable and prevent strain on connectors
- Usage Notes
- Inspect cables for damage before installation and replace if any defects are found
- Avoid exceeding mechanical stress limits on connectors during installation and operation
- Use only Foxboro-specified cable assemblies to maintain system integrity and warranty
