ICS Triplex TC-501-02-4M5

Product Introduction: The TC-501-02-4M5 is a dedicated internal connection cable used in the ICS Triplex Trusted TMR system. It is specifically designed for connecting digital input (DI) and analog input (AI) modules to the Field Termination Assembly (FTA). The cable features a 96-way Type “C” connector at the chassis end (housed in a TC-500 type single-width shroud) and a 96-way Type “R” connector at the FTA end. The multi-core cable has 1.5 meters of both ends stripped back and wrapped in a nylon braided shield, with heat-shrink or over-sleeve terminations to prevent abrasion.

Application Scenarios:

  • Trusted TMR system internal wiring for digital input modules
  • Trusted TMR system internal wiring for analog input modules
  • System maintenance and module replacement spare cable
  • Process industries including oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and chemical processing

Performance Parameters:

  • Cable Length: 4.5 meters
  • Connector Type: 96-way Type “C” / Type “R”
  • Signal Type: Digital Input / Analog Input
  • Stripped Length: 1.5 meters at both ends

Material Composition:

  • Multi-core copper conductors
  • Nylon braided shield
  • PVC insulation and outer jacket
  • Heat-shrink termination sleeves
  • 96-way precision connectors

Structural Features: The cable is an internal connection cable with one end connecting to the I/O module backplane via the 96-way Type “C” connector, and the other end connecting to the FTA via the 96-way Type “R” connector. The multi-core screen drain wire at the far end connects to the green wire for screen earth bonding.

Working Principle: As a signal transmission pathway, the cable transfers digital or analog signals collected by the field termination assembly to the I/O module for processing, or conveys control signals from the module to the FTA.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install according to Trusted system wiring specifications
  • Ensure cable bend radius meets requirements to avoid excessive bending
  • Route cable away from high-current cables and VFD cables to minimize EMI
  • Connect shield drain wire to screen earth at both ends
  • Verify terminal correspondence before connection

Usage Notes:

  • Inspect cable appearance for damage or breakage before installation
  • Check cable connection status during module replacement
  • Do not disconnect cable connectors while energized
  • Store spare cables in dry, anti-static environment
