Features:
- Built using an heavy-duty, multi-core screened (shielded) construction engineered to deflect severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) and cross-talk across long distances
- Outfitted with two 96-way Type-C connectors enclosed in a unified double-width hood at the chassis end, alongside a specialized 96-way Type-R connector at the remote end for secure field interfacing
- The final segment code "6M5" explicitly indicates a factory-molded, insulated cable span measuring exactly 6.5 meters (approx. 21.3 feet)
The ICS Triplex TC-215-02-6M5 is a high-performance I/O expansion slot cable/extension interface card designed for high-availability and high-security industrial control systems, such as the ICS Triplex Trusted TMR system. This component is primarily used in critical process control and safety instrumented systems (SIS), offering high compatibility, high stability, and a long service life.
In complex industrial environments, it effectively resists electromagnetic interference, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even under harsh electrical and physical conditions. Its core function is to provide stable power and high-speed, accurate signal transmission. It seamlessly connects controllers, I/O expansion slots, and field sensors and actuators, enabling bidirectional real-time data transmission. By supporting hot-swapping and redundant configurations, it significantly improves the fault tolerance of the entire control network and greatly simplifies field installation and subsequent maintenance processes.
The TC-215-02-6M5 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).

This dedicated matching slot cable is widely used in heavily regulated heavy industrial sectors such as petrochemical refineries, deep-sea oil drilling platforms, large chemical plants, and power plants. It directly bridges standard Trusted Analog/Digital Input Modules (FTAs) and Trusted Field Terminal Components (VFTAs). Supporting TMR architectures up to SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3), the cable is used to transmit critical telemetry data, such as Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD), Fire and Gas (F&G) detection networks, and critical turbine speed control—applications where zero downtime and fail-safe connectivity are paramount.
1.IEC 61508 (SIL 3): Fully compliant with Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) application requirements. This cable maintains structural signal isolation, prevents false tripping, and ensures fail-safe voting functionality between moving housing slots and mating housing slots.
2.TÜV Certification: TÜV Rheinland certified for use in Emergency Shutdown (ESD), Fire and Gas (F&G) systems, and critical burner/boiler management architectures (NFPA 85, 86).
3.LSZH (Low Smoke Halogen-Free): Certified to emit only small amounts of smoke and produce no toxic halogen gases, even under extreme temperatures or fire conditions, thus protecting personnel in enclosed control rooms.
4.IEC 60332-3 Class A: Compliant with global flame retardant standards. This class ensures the cable sheath effectively prevents the vertical spread of flames in industrial cable trays.
