Overview

The Foxboro P0912CE Nodebus A Extension Cable is designed for robust, noise-resistant communication in distributed control systems. Manufactured by Schneider Electric under the Foxboro brand, it connects FBMs to the Nodebus backbone, enabling flexible network layouts and reliable signal transmission.

Its shielded twisted-pair design minimizes electromagnetic interference, while factory-terminated connectors allow plug-and-play installation, reducing wiring errors and setup time. Built for harsh industrial environments, the cable is IP67-rated and maintains stable performance under vibration, humidity, and temperature extremes, making it ideal for oil & gas, chemical, and power generation facilities.
