Mechanical Design
The IC693CBL305 incorporates robust overmolded strain relief boots on both ends. This design prevents conductor fatigue from repeated bending cycles. The connectors feature gold-plated contacts for superior signal integrity. Additionally, the cable uses dual shielding layers to reject electromagnetic interference effectively. The PVC jacket resists oils, solvents, and abrasion.
Application Context
This cable serves as the primary programming interface for Series 90-30 CPUs. It also works with handheld programmers and operator interface terminals. The 3-meter length provides sufficient reach between cabinet and workstation. Users can rely on this cable for consistent communication at 19.2 Kbps. The cable supports both Logicmaster and VersaPro programming environments.
Connectivity Options
For longer runs, multiple cables can be daisy-chained with appropriate adapters. However, total cable length should not exceed 15 meters. The cable’s straight-through pinning works with standard PC COM ports. It also functions with USB-to-serial converters without any modification.
