PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC200CBL001 is a VersaMax programming cable. This straight-through RS-232 serial cable connects directly to programmable logic controllers. The assembly measures 15 meters or 50 feet in length. It provides an extended physical reach between programming computers and controller stations. One end features a 9-pin D-sub male connector. The opposing end provides a 9-pin D-sub female connector.
The IC200CBL001 cable incorporates 24 AWG copper conductors for low signal attenuation. Integrated cable shielding protects serial data transmission against external electromagnetic interference. The cable supports serial communication rates up to 115,200 bits per second. It is rated for operation up to 30V and 80 degrees Celsius. Connections attach securely using crimp-style connector terminations.
