Product Overview

The IC695CBL001A serves as the dedicated interface cable for the GE PACSystems RX3i Energy Pack (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system. This specialized cable provides the electrical connection between the RX3i CPU's Energy Pack port and the external capacitor-based Energy Pack module. It facilitates the transfer of backup power and status signals, ensuring the CPU can successfully perform "last gasp" flash memory writes during a sudden power loss. We supply this cable as 100% Brand New original hardware to guarantee secure connectivity and fail-safe performance for your data protection strategy.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Mission-Critical Data Protection: This cable enables the Energy Pack to provide instantaneous backup power to the CPU. This allows the controller to save all volatile register data and I/O states to non-volatile memory during a power failure, preventing logic corruption and reducing recovery time.

• Optimized Signal Integrity: The 24 AWG stranded wire construction offers high flexibility for routing through crowded control cabinets while maintaining low resistance for power delivery. This ensures the CPU receives the maximum possible charge from the Energy Pack capacitors.

• Plug-and-Play Integration: The IC695CBL001A features keyed connectors that prevent incorrect orientation during installation. This design eliminates the risk of pin damage or short circuits, allowing maintenance teams to connect backup power systems in seconds.

• Rugged 300V Insulation: High-quality insulation allows this cable to be routed alongside standard 120/240V control wiring within the same wire duct. This complies with industrial safety standards and simplifies enclosure cable management.

FAQs

Can I extend this cable if the Energy Pack is mounted further than 3 feet away?

GE specifies the 3-foot length to maintain the voltage integrity required for high-speed data backup. Extending this cable is not recommended as increased resistance may prevent the CPU from receiving sufficient "last gasp" power.

Is this cable compatible with Series 90-30 PLCs?

No. The IC693 series (Series 90-30) uses a different battery-backed memory system. This cable is designed exclusively for the IC695 (RX3i) Energy Pack architecture.

How often should I inspect this cable?

Inspect the cable during every battery or Energy Pack maintenance cycle. Check for tight connections and ensure the jacket is free from abrasions or chemical damage from the industrial environment.

Is this a genuine GE original product?

Yes. Although some sources list this part as discontinued, we provide 100% Brand New original GE/Emerson stock. Each cable ships in its original factory packaging to ensure authentic material quality and electrical safety.
