The IC693CBL304 cable is a port extension (Wye) cable manufactured by GE Fanuc. This particular cable is specifically designed for the GE IC693PCM300 module in the same series (GE Series 90-30). The Y-shaped cable is used to separate 2 serial port connections from a single connection embedded in the Host IC693PCM300 module. The cable is included in the module or can be ordered separately from the GE catalog. The GE Fanuc IC693CBL304 Port Expansion (Wye) cable is used to separate RS-232 signals from RS-485 signals. It also makes the 90/70 series PCM fully compatible with the 90/30 series PCM. Like all cables in this series, this cable has a continuous shield.
The GE Fanuc IC693CBL304 Port expansion (Wye) cable is 1 foot long and includes a right Angle male connector at one end. This end should be connected to the PCM module. The other end has a double female connector for ports 1 and 2. The GE Fanuc IC693CBL304 Port expansion (Wye) cable and the baseplate containing the PCM module must be grounded at the same ground potential. This is very important because incorrect wiring can cause damage to the different devices involved, including the programmer or module and all the cables. This cable is especially important when a single port requires 2 connections, which can improve the efficiency of the module and programmer, as well as the different devices involved throughout the application.
