Configured as a shielded, single-ended cable assembly, the unit maintains high-speed electrical continuity across modular racks. The factory-terminated connectors route digital and analog I\/O communication signals over a 1 m (or 0.6 m) overall length without requiring manual field wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIC200CBL600C (IC200CBL600)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE Fanuc \/ Emerson\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.13 kg to 0.16 kg (0.29 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 x 9 x 4 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-20 deg C to +60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassive (0 W draw)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVersaMax PLC expansion modules and receivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShielded expansion cable (single-ended)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 m (3.3 ft) nominal \/ 0.6 m variants\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Transmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital and analog expansion bus signals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShielding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated braided noise protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandards Compliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL, CE compliant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBackplane Bus Communication Velocity \u0026amp; Deterministic Network Scaling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe expansion cable maintains system backplane bus communication velocity by preserving signal integrity across separated expansion sub-racks. Integrated high-density braid shielding prevents electromagnetic interference from corrupting deterministic packet transmission loops. The low-impedance conductors maintain deterministic networks data transfer stability during high I\/O density scaling routines. Additionally, the factory-molded strain reliefs preserve pin alignment, eliminating signal degradation caused by mechanical vibration and maintaining full firmware flash compatibility across connected sub-assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does the IC200CBL600C cable require manual pin wiring during panel mounting?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, the cable assembly features pre-terminated industrial connectors that plug directly into VersaMax expansion receiver modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How does the integrated cable shielding handle external electrical noise inside a control cabinet?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The single-ended braid shield diverts continuous high-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference away from internal data conductors to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can engineers extend the IC200CBL600C cable by splicing conductors in the field?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Field splicing alters matched impedance parameters and destroys noise shielding, resulting in communication errors across the expansion rack; installers must use factory-built longer cable options instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount the primary VersaMax PLC controller and expansion receiver modules before routing the expansion cable. Ensure a minimum bending radius of five times the outer cable diameter during installation to avoid internal wire stress. Insert the molded cable plug into the expansion port until the retention latches snap securely into place. Ground the single-ended drain shield directly to the designated DIN-rail ground terminal to maintain full noise immunity. Route the assembly through dedicated low-voltage wiring ducts, keeping clear of high-voltage AC lines and variable frequency drives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GE Fanuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521498509411,"sku":"IC200CBL600C","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/5246\/8067\/files\/187._d2adeb1c-93c0-489d-889b-842f4d4d8993.jpg?v=1787822221","url":"https:\/\/www.autocontrolglobal.com\/products\/shielded-rack-expansion-cable-ge-ic200cbl600c","provider":"AutoControl Global","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
