At a Glance

Connecting discrete input/output modules to TELEFAST interfaces for connecting and adapting fast wiring HE10 connectors, is done with the aid of:

  • a 28 gauge multi-stranded sheathed cable (0.08 mm2);

  • a 22 gauge connection cable (0.34 mm 2).

TSX CDP 102/202/302 Connection Cable

The 28 gauge connection cable (0.08 mm2) comes in three different lengths:

  • 3 ft 3.4 in length: TSX CDP 102,

  • 6 ft 6.8 in length: TSX CDP 202,

  • 9 ft 10.2 in length: TSX CDP 302.

This cable is made up of 2 HE10 connectors and a multi-stranded sheathed ribbon cable, where each wire has a cross-section area of 0.08 mm2.

Given the small area of each of the wires, you are advised to only use it for low current inputs or outputs (< 100 mA per input or output).

TSX CDP 053/103/203/303/503 Connection Cable

The 22 gauge connection cable (0.34 mm2) comes in five different lengths:

  • 1 ft 7.7 in length: TSX CDP 053,

  • 3 ft 3.4 in length: TSX CDP 103,

  • 6 ft 6.8 in length: TSX CDP 203,

  • 9 ft 10.2 in length: TSX CDP 303,

  • 16 ft 5 in length: TSX CDP 503.

This cable is made up of 2 sheathed HE10 connectors, and a cable with a cross-section of 0.34 mm 2, which can take higher currents (> 500 mA).

The illustration below shows the two types of connection to the TELEFAST interface via multi-strand cable or other cable.

NOTE: Check the consistency between the rating of the fuse on board the TELEFAST 2 and the fuse which is to be used on the inputs/outputs (see Connecting modules).
