TC-201-02-8M5 TRICONEX DI/AI dedicated cables

The TC‑201‑02‑8M5 is a Triconex/ICS Triplex I/O companion slot cable designed for connection between DI (digital input) or AI (analogue input) modules and

Trusted Field Termination Assemblies (FTAs) or Versatile FTAs (VFTAs) inside a safety controller chassis or expander enclosure. It is part of

the TC‑200 series of cables that facilitate the routed I/O signal paths between internal modular slots and the chassis

backplane in Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) systems.

I/O Companion Slot cable for input modules (digital/analogue).

Q: What is the purpose of the TC‑201‑02‑8M5 cable?

A: It is an internal I/O companion slot cable that connects digital or analogue input modules in a Triconex safety controller chassis

 to field termination assemblies, enabling correct signal routing for input channels within a TMR safety system.

Q: Can this cable be used externally in the field?

A: No — it’s designed for internal cabinet use only. While robust, it lacks armor and environmental protection

necessary for external field deployment. Protection is required when routed through trays or conduits.

Q: What does “02” in the part number signify?

A: The “02” suffix typically indicates Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) insulation

with flame‑retardant properties per industrial cable standards.
