Figure 18 I/O SmartSlot Cable Type TC-523
This type of Trusted TM I/O Smart Slot Cable is designed for use with T8424 120Vac digital input
modules and is suitable for connecting input signals from an internal VFTA to the module. Note that the
T8424 should only be paired with a T8824 FTA.
The chassis end of the multi-core cable is fitted with a 96-way type ‘C’ connector housed in a
single-width hood (TC-500). The other end of the multi-core is fitted with five 10-way screw-retained
connectors enabling the cable to be terminated at a T8824 VFTA.
The multi-core 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.
