GE Fanuc IC693CBL305 Wye Connection Cable

The GE Fanuc IC693CBL305 serves as a specialized interface splitter for Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controllers. This Wye-style cable expands a single physical port into two independent communication channels. By utilizing this cable, users can access both internal serial ports on specific coprocessor modules simultaneously. It eliminates the need for complex custom wiring in industrial control panels.

Essentially, the cable provides a physical bridge for CMM and PCM modules. These modules often consolidate Port 1 and Port 2 into one high-density connector. The IC693CBL305 correctly routes these internal signals to standard, manageable terminal points. This separation allows for cleaner cable management and faster diagnostic access.

Design and Connectivity Features

• The “Y” shaped geometry allows one input to drive two distinct outputs.
• One end features a right-angle connector for space-saving attachment to the PLC module.
• The dual-connector end provides clear physical identification for Port 1 and Port 2.
• Port 1 supports dedicated RS-232 serial communication protocols.
• Port 2 offers multi-protocol flexibility by supporting both RS-232 and RS-485 standards.
• The compact 30.5-centimeter length prevents excessive cable clutter within the enclosure.
• High-quality shielding protects sensitive data signals from industrial electromagnetic interference.
