GE IC693CBL313 – Series 90-30 PLC I/O Bus Expansion Cable (Wye-Type, 8 Meters)

In stock

Product Introduction:

The IC693CBL313, manufactured by GE Fanuc (Emerson Automation), is a dedicated high-performance I/O bus expansion cable designed exclusively for the GE Series 90-30 PLC system. As a core connectivity component, it establishes reliable high-speed data links between the CPU baseplate and expansion/remote baseplates in a daisy-chain configuration, enabling seamless system scalability and real-time transmission of control signals, I/O data, and status feedback. Engineered with industrial-grade shielding and robust construction, it delivers exceptional noise immunity and durability for deployment in harsh industrial environments, serving as a critical backbone for modular PLC system expansion.
