Foxboro P0916GE 0.5m Type 5 Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen Termination Cable for I/A Series FBM2xx I/O Modules

Foxboro P0916GE is an original Schneider Foxboro short-distance Type 5 LSZH low-smoke zero-halogen termination cable customized for I/A Series DCS FBM field I/O modules. It serves internal short connection between FBM baseplate and DIN rail terminal assemblies (TA) inside control cabinets. Different from standard P/PVC Type4 cables, this model adopts LSZH flame retardant outer sheath with zero halogen emission when burning, complying with fire safety standards for power, nuclear and pharmaceutical projects. The cable features 18 pairs of 26AWG twisted cores with double-layer full shielding (pair-level aluminum foil shielding + overall copper braided shielding) to eliminate EMI, surge and harmonic interference from inverters and high-voltage equipment. Dual ends adopt 37-pin D-Sub anti-loose locking screws for stable contact under long-term vibration. It meets Class 2 limited energy circuit standard, supports lossless transmission of 4–20mA analog, HART and digital discrete signals, fully compatible with all FBM2xx I/O modules and P0916EV main control processors. Suitable for enclosed cabinet short wiring in fire-critical industrial areas; RH916GE is the factory designated direct replacement for discontinued P0916GE.

4. Installation & Operation Guidelines

  1. Standard Wiring Operation Steps

    Step1: Fully cut off power supply of all DCS rack modules before plugging/unplugging the cable to avoid signal short circuit and permanent burnout of I/O boards

    Step2: Align the 37-pin D-Sub pin interface with FBM baseplate / terminal assembly port, fully insert and tighten both side locking screws to prevent loose contact during long-term vibration

    Step3: Separate P0916GE signal cable from high-current power cables, maintain ≥15cm isolation distance inside control cabinets to reduce crosstalk interference

    Step4: Fix cable body with soft plastic cable ties, avoid excessive tension pulling connectors; reserve small slack for cabinet door switching

    Step5: Complete all wiring work, restore power supply and run system self-test to verify communication stability and analog signal accuracy
