The types of TC-800 Trusted
Cable Type Description
TC-801-02-xmx I/O Companion Slot, Speed Monitor Module to Speed FTAs
The cables are manufactured to user’s requirements, therefore length and type of cable insulation
must be specified. Length must be specified to the nearest 0.5m in the format xmx, e.g. 2m0 for a
cable length of 2.0m. This detail must be added to the end of the part number. The type of cable
insulation forms part of the cable part number and is denoted by 02 for Low Smoke Low Halogen
(LSLH), flame retardant to IEC 60332-3 Cat A. PVC covered cables are not available. When ordering
cables, it is recommended that the user supplies the details as shown in Table 1.
The maximum recommended I/O cable length is 15m. Cables longer than this may be specified if
necessary but may suffer from voltage drop, offset, crosstalk and noise and will present materials
handling problems.
Internal cables are designed for cables where they are terminated in adjacent enclosures. If the cable
needs to leave the enclosure environment, the External cable has more protection. Note that the
‘External’ cables are not armoured and are not suitable for truly external use and must still be treated
with care. These cables will need protection when drawn through a cable route, and should also not be
pulled by the connector(s). They should enter cabinets through transit/compression blocks and can not
be glanded.
Cables currently available are listed in Table 1 below.

This type of Trusted
I/O Companion Slot Cable is designed for use with the T8442 Speed Monitor
module and is required for connections to a T8846 Speed Input FTA and up to three T8891 Speed
Output FTAs. This is an internal low smoke low halogen cable. There is no SmartSlot version of this
cable.
The chassis end of the multi-core cable is fitted with a 96-way type ‘C’ connector housed in a
double-width hood. The other ends of the cable are fitted with six 20-way screw-fit 3.5mm pitch female
header connectors; three to the T8846 and one to each T8891. The cable is only available with three
T8891 tails in the arrangement shown in the figure above.
The cables are assembled from individual cores and screened twisted pairs and are shrouded in nylon
Megamide sheathing. The ends of the sheathing are fitted with heat-shrink sleeving to prevent fraying.
At the chassis end, a sheathed braid allows the connector hood to be wired to safety earth.
