Description
1. Product Overview
Part Number: 3A98865G01, original Westinghouse/Emerson dedicated green-jacketed communication cable designed for WDPF WEStation SPARC VME workstation connecting to TAP panel. It belongs to the 3A98865 green cable series exclusively used for internal cabinet wiring inside legacy thermal and nuclear power plant DCS control room. The letter "G" stands for green outer jacket to distinguish from black trackball cables of 3A98833 series. Original OEM production has been permanently discontinued; available supplies consist of fully tested refurbished cables and authentic dismantled original spare parts for equipment overhaul and field replacement.
2. Electrical and Interface Specifications
The cable is factory terminated with two customized molded connectors. One end plugs into dedicated TAP interface on WEStation VME backplane, while the opposite end mates with terminal port of cabinet TAP panel for hybrid bus and basic network signal transmission. Internal construction combines paired twisted signal wires plus discrete control conductors wrapped with full aluminum foil shielding to suppress EMI interference from cabinet relays, power modules and frequency converters. Rated signal operating voltage is DC5V; the cable passes 500V AC insulation withstand test to meet industrial control safety criteria. It is responsible for transferring workstation status data, TAP network link signals and chassis power monitoring information between SPARC host and TAP adapter board. This G01 version is factory fixed at standard short length for nearby wiring within a single VME cabinet.
3. Mechanical and Environmental Specifications
The cable features distinctive bright green flame-retardant oil-resistant industrial PVC outer sheath with good wear and anti-aging performance for long-term continuous cabinet operation. Both ends adopt integrated injection molding with built-in strain relief structure to prevent inner core wire damage caused by frequent bending and plugging during maintenance. Rated operating ambient temperature ranges from 0℃ to +55℃ inside control cabinet; spare storage temperature covers -40℃ to +85℃ with applicable relative humidity between 5% and 95% under non-condensing environment, compliant with CE industrial component standards. Extended-length variants including G02 and G03 are available in the same product line for cross-cabinet long-distance routing.
4. Core Function
It establishes stable physical connection between WEStation SPARC VME chassis and cabinet TAP transition panel, realizing bidirectional data exchange of fieldbus and network communication between operator workstation and downstream DPU controllers in WDPF distributed control system. The cable serves as essential replacement spare during control desk modification, cabinet retrofit and TAP panel troubleshooting for aged power plant DCS equipment.
5. Supply & Delivery Information
Brand new factory-original stock is extremely scarce globally. Available products include inspected refurbished cables and pre-tested original used spares with formal quality warranty. Standard delivery lead time is two to four weeks; expedited urgent shipment can be arranged for emergency breakdown maintenance. Global worldwide delivery is available via DHL, UPS or FedEx international courier service.
