The Triconex 4000093-310 delivers ruggedized external connectivity for Triconex safety system field devices. This 10-meter input terminal cable assembly features a 10-pin M12 connector with IP67 environmental sealing for harsh industrial locations.

Key Technical Specifications

Industrial-Grade M12 Connectivity

The Triconex 4000093-310 employs a 10-pin M12 male connector with threaded coupling ring. This circular industrial connector provides secure mechanical retention against severe vibration and accidental cable pull forces.

Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation and maintain low and stable contact resistance through decades of service. Each pin accommodates signals up to 500 VDC or VAC with 4 A continuous current capacity.

Extended Length for Distributed I/O

Measuring 10 meters in standard length, this cable assembly connects safety system I/O modules to remotely located field devices. Facilities position Triconex chassis in control rooms while terminating sensors and actuators directly on process equipment.

This extended reach eliminates intermediate junction boxes and marshalling panels. Fewer interconnection points significantly reduce potential failure sources in safety-critical signal paths.

PUR Jacket and IP67 Environmental Sealing

The polyurethane outer jacket provides exceptional resistance to industrial oils, hydraulic fluids, coolants, and UV exposure. PUR maintains flexibility at -40°C while resisting abrasion in cable tray and conduit installations.

When mated with compatible IP67 receptacles, the 4000093-310 achieves complete protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion. This sealing permits direct installation in washdown areas and outdoor unprotected locations.

Electrical Performance Characteristics

Insulation resistance exceeds 1000 MΩ at 500 VDC test potential, ensuring negligible leakage current in high-impedance analog circuits. This performance proves essential for accurate 4-20 mA transmitter signals and thermocouple millivolt measurements.

The cable maintains consistent characteristic impedance throughout the 10-meter length. Signal integrity remains excellent for both digital status inputs and high-speed counter applications.

Mechanical Flexibility and Installation

A minimum operating bend radius of 85 mm allows continuous flexing in cable carrier applications. Installers can bend the cable to 50 mm during initial pull-in without compromising internal conductor integrity.

Stranded tinned copper conductors resist work hardening from vibration. This construction provides exceptional flex life for equipment connected to moving machine components.

System Integration with Triconex I/O

Schneider Electric designed this assembly specifically for Triconex input modules requiring M12 field connectivity. The 10-pin M12 connector mates directly with compatible Tricon, Trident, and Tri-GP chassis I/O modules.

Primary applications include 3503E, 3504E, and 3511 series digital input modules. The cable also interfaces with 3805E analog input modules requiring remote field device connection.

Application Versatility

Safety instrumented systems deploy the Triconex 4000093-310 across numerous extreme-environment applications. Typical implementations include offshore platform emergency shutdown systems, Arctic pipeline monitoring stations, and chemical process safety interlocks.

The IP67 rating permits installation in food processing washdown zones, outdoor valve actuation stations, and mining equipment exposed to airborne dust. This environmental robustness significantly expands safety system deployment options.

Cold Temperature Performance

The -40°C operating limit matches Triconex system specifications for unheated Arctic and sub-Arctic installations. PUR jacket material maintains flexibility at extreme low temperatures without cracking or insulating brittleness.

Connector sealing gaskets utilize low-temperature silicone compounds. These elastomers retain compressive sealing force even at -50°C storage conditions.

Chemical and Abrasion Resistance

PUR jacketing demonstrates excellent resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons, dilute acids, and alkaline solutions. The cable withstands incidental contact with hydraulic oils, transmission fluids, and industrial cleaning agents.

Abrasion resistance exceeds PVC jacketed cables by a factor of five. Installers confidently pull the 4000093-310 through partially filled cable trays and conduit systems with minimal jacket damage.

Field Termination Simplicity

The M12 connector features color-coded insert positions corresponding to international wiring standards. Technicians verify pin-to-conductor assignment without referencing complex wiring diagrams.

Threaded coupling rings include knurled gripping surfaces for hand-tightening without tools. A positive mechanical stop prevents over-torquing and connector body damage during installation.

Reliability and Service Life

Triconex specifies this cable assembly for minimum 20-year service life in continuous industrial operation. All materials undergo extensive accelerated aging validation to confirm long-term durability.

Each completed assembly passes 100% continuity, insulation resistance, and high-potential testing. This quality assurance guarantees immediate installation readiness without field verification testing.
