The TC-203 cable family is designed for Trusted analogue or digital input modules where the field termination assembly is located remotely from the chassis. The TC-203-02-10M5 configuration combines the external cable arrangement, 02 cable insulation specification and a 10.5 m length designation.

01 / PRODUCT ROLE
Designed for Remote FTA Routing
TC-203-02-10M5 is part of the Trusted I/O Companion Slot cable family. Its role is to carry input connections between supported Trusted analogue or digital input modules and a remote Field Termination Assembly. The external configuration is intended for routing beyond the immediate enclosure environment, while the cable itself is not an armoured cable and requires suitable protection along its route.
FEATURE 01
Remote FTA Architecture
The TC-203 configuration is intended for input modules connected to an FTA positioned remotely from the chassis.
40-Channel Input Path
The family is specified for 40-channel input applications within the Trusted TMR architecture.
FEATURE 02
96-Way Chassis Interface
The chassis end uses two 96-way Type C connectors housed in a double-width hood.
FTA-Side Interface
The FTA end uses one 96-way Type R connector housed in a single-width hood.
FEATURE 03
LSZH Cable Specification
The 02 suffix corresponds to Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable material and is also flame retardant to IEC 60332-3 Category A.
Screen & Earth Provisions
The cable construction includes sheathed braid provisions at the connector hoods and a remote-end screen drain for screen-earth connection.

TC-203 Family
The TC-203 family keeps the same external 40-channel input-to-FTA architecture while the final length designation changes the physical routing distance. This makes the length suffix an important purchasing detail rather than a cosmetic variation.

04 / APPLICATION FIT
When the 10.5 m Route Matters
TC-203-02-10M5 is suited to a Trusted installation where the input module and remote FTA require an external companion-slot cable and the physical route calls for approximately 10.5 m of cable. The external version provides more protection than the internal version when the route leaves the enclosure environment, although the cable is not armoured and should be protected during routing.
REPLACEMENT CHECK
Avoid the Length-Suffix Trap
A visually similar TC-203 cable is not automatically an equivalent replacement. Before ordering, match the complete designation, the 02 or 03 cable-material suffix, the required route length, the chassis connector arrangement and the FTA-side connection. The manufacturer recommends a maximum I/O cable length of 15 m; longer routes can introduce voltage drop, offset, crosstalk and noise concerns.

05 / PURCHASING FAQ
TC-203-02-10M5 Buyer Questions
01
Is TC-203-02-10M5 the right choice when the FTA is outside the immediate chassis enclosure?
Yes, the TC-203 family is specifically the external 40-channel input-to-FTA configuration. The external construction is intended for routes that leave the enclosure environment. It is not armoured, so the cable route still requires suitable mechanical protection.
02
Can TC-203-02-10M5 be replaced by another TC-203 length without changing the rest of the system?
The connector architecture and cable family remain the same across TC-203-02 length variants, but the physical route must match the selected length. TC-203-02-10M5 is 10.5 m, so replacing it with 4.5 m, 6.5 m, 8.5 m or 12.5 m changes the available routing distance. The complete replacement designation should therefore match the actual installation.
03
Why would a buyer select TC-203-02-10M5 instead of TC-201-02-10M5?
The key distinction is the installation arrangement. TC-201 is the internal 40-channel input-to-FTA configuration, while TC-203 is the external 40-channel input-to-FTA configuration. When the cable route needs to leave the enclosure environment, the TC-203 family is the relevant configuration to evaluate.
04
What should be checked before ordering TC-203-02-10M5 as a replacement cable?
Confirm the complete part number, 10.5 m route requirement, external configuration, two 96-way Type C chassis connectors, one 96-way Type R FTA connector, the 02 cable-material suffix and compatibility with the installed Trusted input module and FTA. These checks help prevent an apparently similar cable from being ordered for the wrong configuration.
05
If the project requires UL cable material, is TC-203-02-10M5 the correct suffix?
No. Within the TC-203 family, the 02 suffix corresponds to Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable material, while the 03 suffix is the UL cable-material variant. If UL cable material is a project requirement, the complete TC-203-03 configuration and required length should be checked instead of treating TC-203-02-10M5 as interchangeable.
