Physical Characteristics and Installation

This I/O cable weighs approximately 0.38 kg for easy field handling. Its length measures exactly 2.0 meters between connector ends. The outer jacket uses durable PVC material for industrial environments. A braided copper shield surrounds all internal conductors. Consequently, this shielding rejects electromagnetic interference effectively.

Connector Design and Signal Integrity

The IC600WD002 features 50-pin D-sub connectors on both ends. Each connector has a metal housing for additional shielding protection. The cable contains 50 twisted pairs of copper conductors. Each pair has a 100 ohm impedance for signal matching. This design maintains clean signal transfer over the full 2-meter length.

Installation and Usage Guidelines

First, power down both the main and expansion racks before installing this cable. Then, align the IC600WD002 connectors with the appropriate ports. Finally, tighten the thumb screws securely on both ends. Do not run this cable near high-power motor leads. The gray PVC jacket resists oil and mild chemicals for longer life. Use this cable for Series Six PLC expansion rack connections only.
