ICS Triplex TC203-02-6M5 System Interconnect Cable Assembly

Configured for controller-to-I/O and chassis expansion interconnection in Trusted TMR systems, the ICS Triplex TC203-02-6M5 (TC203-02-6M5 System Interconnect Cable Assembly) provides shielded multi-conductor signal transmission between controller chassis, expansion chassis, and I/O termination assemblies. The factory-terminated assembly uses industrial locking connectors for mechanically secured signal interconnection.

Hardware Specifications

Trusted TMR Interconnect and Signal Integrity

The TC203-02-6M5 is configured for interconnection within a Trusted Triple Modular Redundant architecture. Its overall foil and braided shielding provides a conductive barrier against external EMI and RFI coupling. The cable assembly carries signals between controller and I/O-related chassis interfaces without requiring field termination of individual conductors.

The factory-terminated construction establishes a fixed connector-to-conductor relationship. The locking connector arrangement provides mechanical retention against accidental separation caused by vibration or mechanical shock.

For TMR installations, the cable should be routed as part of the designated Trusted system interconnect path. Signal integrity depends on maintaining the specified connector engagement and avoiding routing conditions that introduce excessive mechanical stress or electromagnetic coupling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the TC203-02-6M5 supplied as a field-terminated cable?

A: No. The supplied data identifies it as a factory-terminated cable assembly with multi-pin industrial locking connectors.

Q: What environmental temperature range is specified for operation?

A: The specified operating temperature range is -40 deg C to +70 deg C. The specified storage range is -40 deg C to +85 deg C.

Q: What shielding is used on the TC203-02-6M5?

A: The source specifies a foil and braided overall shield intended to reduce EMI and RFI coupling into the signal conductors.

Field Installation Guidelines

Install the TC203-02-6M5 between the designated Trusted controller, expansion chassis, or I/O termination interfaces according to the system wiring documentation.

Verify connector orientation before engagement and fully secure the locking mechanism. Do not force a connector into an incorrectly aligned interface.

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tensile loading, crushing, or repeated mechanical movement. Keep signal cabling separated from high-current conductors and major electromagnetic noise sources where the installation arrangement permits.

Maintain the cable shield and connector hardware in the condition specified by the Trusted system installation documentation. Do not modify the factory termination or remove shielding unless the applicable system documentation explicitly permits the modification.

Inspect the cable jacket and connectors for mechanical damage before installation. The specified operating humidity range is 10% to 95%, non-condensing.
