Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC693CBL328 provides a direct interface between high-density Series 90-30 I/O modules and field-side terminal strips. This 100% brand new, original 3-meter (10-foot) cable features a specialized 24-pin right-angle connector that plugs into the front face of the I/O module, while the opposite end consists of stripped flying leads.

This design allows engineers to customize wiring layouts for specific industrial control panels, facilitating the connection of up to 32-point high-density modules to external DIN-rail terminals.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Space-Saving Right-Angle Design
The 24-pin connector utilizes a right-angle orientation to reduce forward cable protrusion, maintaining a 2.0-inch mounting depth and enabling installation in shallow electrical cabinets.

Custom Wiring Flexibility
The flying lead termination allows technicians to route individual #24 AWG wires directly to fuse blocks, relays, or intermediate terminals without the constraints of pre-molded connectors.

High-Density Support
Designed for 32-point modules (such as MDL655 or MDL753), this cable consolidates multiple I/O signals into a single managed trunk, significantly reducing panel wiring complexity and labor time.

Solid Wire Reliability
The #24 AWG solid conductors maintain their shape once installed, ensuring stable and vibration-resistant electrical connections in industrial environments.

FAQs

Can I use the IC693CBL328 to replace an old IC693CBL315?
Yes, the IC693CBL328 is a direct functional replacement for the discontinued IC693CBL315, offering identical pinouts with improved durability.

How do I identify the individual wires at the flying lead end?
Each conductor includes a unique color code or tracer (typically black tracers) corresponding to the pin-out diagram in the Series 90-30 I/O Module User Manual.

Does this cable require a separate terminal block for the PLC end?
No, the 24-pin right-angle connector plugs directly into compatible I/O modules. External terminal blocks are only required for terminating the flying lead end.

Is this cable suitable for high-noise environments?
Since the cable is unshielded, it should be routed away from high-voltage AC lines and VFDs. It is best suited for 24VDC digital signal applications to minimize interference.
