Figure 2 I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-202
This type of Trusted TM I/O Companion Slot Cable is designed for use with analogue or digital input
modules and is suitable for connecting input signals from internal terminals 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 left as a ‘flying lead’ enabling the cable to be
terminated as required, e.g. connected to conditioned field terminals.
The flying leads are sleeved with identity ferrules marked CH1, CH2, CH3 etc. for channel terminations
or 0V for group reference terminations.
The multi-core cable is stripped back 1.5m at both ends, then shrouded in nylon Rilgain sheathing.
The ends of the sheathing are heated or fitted with over sleeving to prevent fraying.
At the chassis end, a sheathed braid allows the connector hood to be wired to safety earth. At the
remote end, the multicore screen drain is wired to a green wire to allow connection to screen earth.
