Overview
The General Electric Distribution Cable Extension is
used to provide modular expansion of the Distribution
Cable System. The system is used to carry a variety
of electronic signals between Spectra
Case Circuit Breakers with microEntelliGuard
MicroVersaTrip
Cable Accessories. Accessories supported by the
Distribution Cable Extension are as follows:

The Distribution Cable Extension is 30 inches in length
and can be group-connected to form a longer cable (the
total system cabling length must not exceed 40 feet).
Because both ends of the Distribution Cable Extension
are different (receptacle end / plug end), you cannot use
it for connections between Spectra
Circuit Breakers and Distribution Cable Accessories;
use the Distribution Cable Harness (Cat. Nos. SDCHA11,
SDCHA30 or SDCHA60) for this application.
