3.4 Core Functional Features

1. 3m Long-distance Layout Design: Solve wiring demands between separated rack slots and split terminal bases in large-sized control cabinets

2. H/XLPE Hypalon High-temperature & Anti-corrosion Outer Jacket: Better heat resistance and chemical erosion resistance than ordinary PVC/LSZH cables, suitable for high-heat power, metallurgy and chemical cabinet environments

3. Factory Pre-terminated Dual Gold-plated Connectors: Eliminate manual wiring errors, greatly shorten DCS cabinet assembly and on-site maintenance cycle

4. Double-layer Full Shielding Architecture: Effectively isolate electromagnetic interference from high-power motors, frequency converters and high-voltage power cables, avoid analog signal drift and HART communication disconnection

5. Full Series Universal Compatibility: Perfectly matched with P0916UJ backplane, P0916UY signal isolation terminal base, all FBM200 analog/digital I/O modules; interchangeable with P0916VA, P0916VB short cables

6. Flexible Anti-fatigue Cable Body: Multi-strand soft copper core, withstand repeated bending during module replacement and cabinet wiring without internal wire breakage

3.5 Installation & Operation Precautions

1. P0916VC cable is only allowed to be laid inside fully sealed industrial control cabinets; outdoor exposure, direct heat source baking and liquid soaking are strictly prohibited

2. Separate signal cables and high-voltage power cables by ≥15cm during wiring; vertical 90° crossing must be adopted for unavoidable cross layout to reduce interference coupling

3. Cable shielding layer must implement single-point grounding on cabinet ground copper bar; double-end grounding will generate ground loop and cause measurement deviation of process signals

4. Minimum bending radius of the cable shall not be less than 6 times the outer diameter; avoid sharp bending, hard pulling and twisting during plugging and wiring

5. Do not arbitrarily cut, peel or damage cable insulation and shielding layer; unauthorized disassembly will void factory performance warranty

6. Check connector tightness every 3–6 months in high-vibration metallurgy and mining workshops; re-plug connectors if loose contact occurs

7. Classify and bind signal cables and power cables separately with soft cable ties; excessive compression that damages internal shielding is forbidden

4. Application Fields

1. Thermal Power & Waste Incineration Power Plant: Boiler, turbine auxiliary control cabinet long-span interconnection between FBM modules and signal terminals, adapt to high-temperature cabinet internal environment

2. Oil & Petrochemical Industry: Refinery, chemical synthesis workshop control cabinet analog signal and HART instrument wiring, anti-oil mist and weak corrosive gas erosion

3. Metallurgy & Mineral Processing: Smelting furnace, rolling mill high-temperature and high-vibration control cabinet long-distance module signal connection

4. Fine Chemical & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Reaction workshop, aseptic pharmaceutical DCS cabinet split rack wiring layout

5. Water Treatment & Desalination: Large-scale urban sewage plants, industrial circulating water multi-slot cabinet long-distance I/O signal transmission

6. Pulp & Paper Industry: Multi-unit large papermaking production line distributed control cabinet span wiring

7. Energy Storage & Substation Automation: Closed power distribution control room high-temperature cabinet internal instrument signal interconnection
