Figure 18 I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-221
This type of Trusted TM I/O Companion Slot Cable is designed for use with the 8472 120V ac digital
output module only and is suitable for connecting output signals from the module to an internal 8871
FTA. Power connections are integral with this type of cable.
The chassis end of the multi-core cable is fitted with two 32-way type ‘D’ connectors housed in a
double-width hood. The other end of the cable is fitted with two 8-way and two 5-way BLZF 5 series
connectors enabling the cable to be terminated at an 8871 FTA. Both ends are fitted with screw
retention. The two 5-way connectors carry AC field power on three of the terminals, which is supplied
to the FTA via screw terminals. Each connector powers one group of eight terminals. The AC power
cables may also be stripped out of the multicore sheath and terminated at an AC marshalling panel
elsewhere.
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.
