IC693CBL303 | GE Fanuc Expansion Backplane Cable

Product Summary

The IC693CBL303 is a pre-wired cable for connecting the Hand-Held Programmer (HHP) to Series 90-30 PLC power supplies. It also supports connection of the PLC RS-485 serial port to the RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 converter (IC690ACC900).

Core Specifications

• Model Number: IC693CBL303
• Cable Type: Hand-Held Programmer / Converter Cable
• Length: 2 m (6 ft)
• Connectors: 15-pin male D-subminiature (Canon DA15S, solder pot) on both ends
• Connector Hood: AMP 207470-1
• Hardware Kit: AMP 207871-1 (includes 2 metric screws and 2 screw clips)
• Cable Construction: Belden 9508 or equivalent, AWG #24 (0.22 mm²)

Electrical & Interface Characteristics

• Primary Function: Provides communication, power, and HHP detection signal to the PLC serial port
• Secondary Use: Connects PLC RS-485 port to RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 converter
• Maximum Custom Length: Up to 300 m (using appropriate Belden cable and external power for converter where required)

Installation Guide

1. Attach one 15-pin male D-sub connector to the serial port on the Series 90-30 PLC power supply.
2. Connect the other end to the Hand-Held Programmer (IC693PRG300) or to the converter (IC690ACC900).
3. For custom-length cables, follow recommended wire types and ensure proper shielding and termination.
4. When used with the converter, provide external isolated +5 VDC power to the converter end if cable length exceeds short distances.

Selection Guidelines

• Use IC693CBL303 for standard-length connections between HHP and Series 90-30 PLCs.
• For custom lengths or specific applications, construct cables using recommended Belden wire types and maintain proper grounding practices.
• For longer distances or isolation requirements, consider additional converters or isolators (e.g., IC690ACC903).
