Brand New IC695CBL001 GE Fanuc RX3i Expansion Cable

Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC695CBL001 serves as a high-performance Shielded Interconnect Cable for the PACSystems RX3i controller platform. This 100% Brand New original accessory facilitates secure, high-speed data and control signal transmission between RX3i modules, CPUs, and expansion components. Engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial environments, the IC695CBL001 provides the critical physical link required for system expansion, ensuring that localized or distributed hardware remains perfectly synchronized with the central processor.

Engineering Advantages

• Superior EMI/RFI Mitigation: The IC695CBL001 features an advanced shielded design that effectively blocks electromagnetic interference. This shielding prevents signal corruption in control cabinets crowded with high-frequency variable speed drives (VFDs) and heavy-duty power switchgear.

• Elimination of Field-Wiring Errors: Factory-terminated connectors remove the risks associated with manual wire stripping and crimping. These precision-molded connectors ensure "first-time" connectivity, significantly reducing commissioning time for new RX3i installations.

• Optimized Signal Integrity: The internal copper conductors maintain low resistance and impedance, supporting the high-speed backplane speeds inherent to the PACSystems RX3i architecture. This ensures zero latency during critical high-speed data transfers between modules.

• Ruggedized Industrial Jacket: The cable's outer insulation resists common industrial contaminants, including oil, moisture, and chemical vapors. This durability prevents cable degradation and short circuits in harsh factory floor or process plant environments.

• Space-Efficient Routing: At approximately 1 meter in length, the cable provides sufficient flexibility for routing between adjacent racks or modules while minimizing excess slack. This promotes clean cabinet organization and improves airflow around active PLC components.

FAQs

• Can I use the IC695CBL001 for Series 90-30 expansion?

  The IC695CBL001 is specifically designed for the PACSystems RX3i bus and module interfaces. For Series 90-30 systems, you must select the appropriate IC693 series expansion cables (e.g., IC693CBL300) to ensure connector compatibility.

• Does this cable require an external ground wire?

  The cable's internal shield connects to the module chassis through the factory-terminated connectors. However, you must ensure that your RX3i racks and modules follow proper GE Fanuc grounding guidelines to allow the shield to drain interference effectively.

• Is there a longer version of this cable available?

  The IC695CBL001 is the standard 1-meter version. If your application requires greater distances between expansion racks, please consult the RX3i hardware manual for supported cable lengths and potential signal repeaters.
