TC-201-01-4M5

TC‑201‑01‑4M5 is a 40‑channel, triple‑redundant (TMR) internal interconnect cable for the AADvance T9000 safety system. It connects I/O modules (analog/digital output) to field termination assemblies (FTAs/TAs), carrying both signal and 24 VDC power in a single assembly. This cable is the 4-meter standard length variant of the TC‑201 series, designed for high‑availability, fault‑tolerant safety loops in SIL 3 / SIL 4 process environments.
