Overview
The CableFast wiring system consists of pre-wired Quantum field wiring terminal strips in various cable lengths, terminated with D-type connectors. The D connectors plug into DIN rail-mounted terminal blocks offered in straight-through or special application versions. Cables and terminal blocks are ordered separately. Terminal blocks may be used with any cable length. Pigtail cable versions are also available.

NOTE: These are the maximum load current capacities of the 140 CFA 040 00 and 140 CFG 016 00:
1. When using the 140 CFA 040 00 terminal block, the indicated module outputs are limited to 0.5 A/point @ 150 VAC maximum and 0.5 A/point @ 150 VDC maximum.
2. When using the 140 CFG 016 00 terminal block and either the 140 XTS 012 •• or 140 XTS 102 •• high power cable, the indicated module output ratings are 2 A per point, 150 VAC maximum and 2 A per point, 150 VDC maximum.
3. The 140 CFA 040 00 block does not incorporate an isometric barrier and is not recommended for use with 140 ATI 030 00 TC module. Without such a barrier, temperature readings may vary up to 2 degrees from one end of the block to the other. If the application can tolerate this temperature difference, the block (and module) remote CJC may be used.
CableFast Terminal Blocks
The following includes descriptions for the terminal blocks discussed in this Appendix.
This table includes descriptions for the following terminal blocks.
Block Number
Block Description
140 CFA 040 00
The A block is a straight through point to point connection on the terminal block. Wiring of this block is identical to wiring the Quantum I/O connector (140 XTS 002 00).
140 CFB 032 00
The B block is used for individually fused 2-wire digital inputs. This terminal block is designed to help prevent a single point error from affecting the remaining inputs. It is not recommended for 1-wire inputs powered from the field.
140 CFC 032 00
The C block provides connection for 32 group fused input or output points. The block may be used for 1- or 2-wire inputs or outputs, and features a fuse per group, four groups total. Users select input or output mode via four switches located on the module. (The default is input mode.)
140 CFD 032 00
The D block is used for sensors requiring either 2- or 3-wire electrical interface. A fuse per group is supplied to accommodate the I/O module (4) groups.
140 CFE 032 00
The E block provides connection for 32 individually fused 24 VDC outputs. 1- and 2-wire interfacing may be selected. Field power must be supplied to the four groups.
140 CFG 016 00
The G block is a high power output block used on both AC and DC circuits requiring up to 2 A. Individual fusing is provided and may be used in both 1- and 2-wire installations. It is also used for isolated AC modules.
140 CFH 008 00
The H block is used for analog inputs, with individual fusing provided per channel. This interface provides plus, minus, shield, and power supply interface for both field and loop power configurations.
140 CFI 008 00
The I block is used for analog inputs. This interface provides plus, minus, shield, and power supply interface for both field and loop power configurations.
140 CFJ 004 00
The J block is used for analog outputs, with individual fusing provided per channel. This interface provides plus, minus, shield, and power supply interface for both field and loop power configurations.
140 CFK 004 00
The K block is used for analog outputs. This interface provides plus, minus, shield, and power supply interface for both field and loop power configurations.
