Its primary function is to expand the physical connectivity of high-density communication modules by splitting a single high-density port into two distinct interfaces. This allows engineers to simultaneously access RS-232 and RS-485 signaling paths, which is critical for complex networking environments involving local HMI connections and long-distance serial daisy-chaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following data outlines the physical and electrical parameters for the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIC693CBL305 (Part Number: IC693CBL305)\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e: GE Fanuc (Now Emerson Industrial Automation)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Series 90-30 PLC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable Geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wye Splitter (1-to-2 branch)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Density\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right-angle connector for the module-side to minimize enclosure depth requirements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Separation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Port 1 (RS-232) and Port 2 (RS-485)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 foot (0.3 meters)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Modules\u003c\/strong\u003e: PCM301, PCM311, and CMM311\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shielded twisted pair for RS-485 legs to mitigate EMI\/RFI interference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModule Compatibility and Application\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIC693CBL305\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis essential when utilizing Programmable Coprocessor Modules (PCM) or Communications Control Modules (CMM).
