Features:
- I/O Companion Slot Internal 40 Channel Output to FTA (Integral Power)
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), engineered to minimize toxic fumes in the event of an industrial fire
- Exactly 10.5 meters (indicated by the 10M5 suffix), designed for longer routing paths across adjacent control rooms or separate system cabinets
The ICS Triplex TC-215-02-10M5 is a dedicated 40-channel I/O slot connection cable designed for high-availability industrial control systems. As a critical network interconnect component of Rockwell Automation's ICS Triplex Trusted Safety Instrumented System (SIS), its primary function is to provide high-density, multi-channel physical bridging between active primary output cards and adjacent spare slots and field terminals (FTAs) within the control rack. The "10M5" in the model name explicitly indicates its 10.5-meter physical span, suitable for long-distance cabling topologies between large control cabinet clusters.
This cable offers superior redundancy and security in security engineering applications. It integrates power distribution capabilities, simultaneously transmitting 40 safety-critical field control output signals and providing backup power in the field. The "02" in the model number indicates that it uses a low-smoke halogen-free (LSZH) flame-retardant outer sheath, meeting stringent international fire and explosion protection standards, such as IEC 60332-3 Class A, ensuring that it will not release toxic halogen gases even in the event of a fire.
The TC-215-02-10M5 ICS Triplex Trusted I/O Companion Slot Cable Assembly may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

As a critical component of the SIL3 safety system, this 10.5-meter cable is designed for high-risk environments where the loss of any command could lead to catastrophic events:
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) System: Connects the voting logic processor to final control elements such as isolation valves to ensure the safety of refinery modules during overpressure events.
Fire and Gas (F&G) System: Aggregates and transmits signals from wide-area optical flame sensors and gas detection circuitry to the central safety cabinet.
Turbine Control (TMC) System: Transmits high-speed diagnostic and trip signals to protect the safety of large gas turbines or steam turbines.
Because this configuration is 10.5 meters long (typically needing to traverse multiple layout areas or separate control patch panels), the following layout rules must be strictly adhered to:
Cable Securement: The 10.5-meter cable must be completely contained within the cable tray or securely clamped along its path. Allowing such a long and thick cable to dangle freely will stress the 96-pin connector, leading to pin damage or intermittent communication failures.
Bending Radius: During installation, the bending radius must be at least 10 times the cable's outer diameter to prevent breakage of the internal wiring matrix.
