Hardware Architecture and Construction

The IC693CBL327 uses fifty 28 AWG stranded copper wires inside its jacket. Stranded construction provides flexibility for routing through cable ducts. An aluminum foil shield wraps around all fifty conductors for noise protection. Each connector features a metal D-sub backshell with strain relief.

Interface and Connectivity

Both ends terminate in 50-pin high density female D-sub connectors. Each connector includes jackscrews for secure attachment to mating ports. The keyed connector body prevents reverse insertion into the module. Simply connect one end to the Series 90-30 high density module.

Practical Installation Notes

Route this cable away from high voltage AC lines for best signal integrity. The IC693CBL327 supports daisy-chaining when using external terminal blocks. Do not exceed the 1A current rating on any single conductor. Secure the cable using nylon zip ties at 30 cm intervals.
