Features:
- Expander Interface Adaptor Module – 7 Way
- Features seven 12-pin ODU locking connectors
- Equipped with a heavy-duty 96-way C type male connector
The expander interface adapter provides the connection between the expander interface modules in the controller chassis and processor interface modules in expander chassis.
With the controller chassis dip switches set to ID#1, the first seven expander chassis would have their dip switch ID #s set from 2 to 8. Another interface adapter would be used to connect to the next seven chassis. Those chassis also need their dip switch ID #s set from 2 to 8, although they would be designated 9 to 15 in the software configuration (.ini file) described in Section 8.
The T8312-7C ICS Triplex Expander Interface Adaptor Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The T8312-7C features a fully shielded metal housing that meets stringent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. It mechanically snaps into the rear connector pins of the controller chassis. To safely disconnect or service the device, you must press the integrated mechanical release button located on the housing to avoid bending the backplane pins.
To route communication from the T8312-7C to the extender chassis hardware, dedicated TC-302 series communication cables are required. These cables feature matching 12-pin connectors at the adapter end, allowing branch connections to multiplexers or T8314 fiber optic TX/RX media converters for long-distance topology isolation.
