Foxboro RH916DB Electrical Cable

The Foxboro RH916DB is a specialized electrical cable assembly designed for the I/A Series 200 Distributed Control System (DCS). It establishes a reliable physical link between I/O modules and their corresponding field termination assemblies. Because signal purity is critical in process automation, Foxboro utilizes premium copper conductors to ensure high electrical conductivity. This design prevents signal attenuation and ensures that data remains accurate as it travels between the controller and field instrumentation.

Engineered for Harsh Industrial Climates

The RH916DB cable features a rugged polyurethane jacket that provides exceptional protection against common industrial hazards. This specialized coating resists chemical exposure, abrasion, and moisture ingress. Furthermore, the cable remains flexible and functional across a wide thermal range, from -40°C to +85°C. This resilience allows the cable to perform in diverse settings, from sub-zero outdoor enclosures to high-heat manufacturing floors. The robust mechanical construction also offers high pull strength, which protects the internal conductors during complex routing and installation.

Versatile Connectivity and Safety

This cable assembly supports various industrial interface standards, ensuring compatibility with BNC and M12 connection architectures. By utilizing standard termination protocols, the RH916DB simplifies the expansion or maintenance of existing DCS racks. Additionally, the cable complies with RoHS environmental standards, ensuring it meets international safety requirements for hazardous substance control. These features combined make the RH916DB a dependable solution for long-term infrastructure stability.
