Product Details
Configured for 2 Mbps deterministic bus communication in Foxboro I/A Series DCS networks, the Foxboro P0916ND (P0916ND Cable Assembly) provides direct physical/electrical execution for high-speed module backplane interconnection. This 0.25 m base-to-base system cable interfaces adjacent baseplate assemblies, transmitting serial control signals and system clock data across standard system operating environments.

DCS Process Control and Channel Isolation
The Foxboro P0916ND base-to-base cable supports 2 Mbps system bus communication while maintaining signal integrity between adjacent baseplate modules. Interfacing directly with DCS process control architectures, the multi-conductor assembly incorporates ground shielding layers designed to mitigate channel-to-channel isolation degradation and common-mode noise. This shielding structure protects high-frequency digital communications against field-side electromagnetic interference (EMI) and cross-talk during real-time I/O scan cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does replacing the P0916ND base-to-base cable require powering down the connected FBM baseplates?
A: Hot-swapping is dependent on the underlying baseplate bus redundancy configuration; however, disconnecting the primary 2 Mbps bus cable without an active redundant link will disrupt communication to downstream I/O modules.
Q: What is the maximum permitted bending radius for the P0916ND 0.25 m cable during cabinet installation?
A: To prevent internal conductor strain and characteristic impedance mismatch on the 2 Mbps bus line, maintain a minimum bend radius of 50 mm (2 inches) during routing.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Inspect cable connectors and baseplate mating headers for bent pins or debris prior to installation.
- Align the connector keying features of the P0916ND assembly with the primary baseplate bus port.
- Press the connector firmly into place until the side retention latches fully engage to prevent accidental dislodgement from vibration.
- Ensure the cable is routed without sharp kinks or tight mechanical tension across the 0.25 m distance between baseplates.
