Product Introduction
The GE IC693CBL313 is a high-quality I/O Rack Expansion Cable designed for use within the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. This specific model is a 1-meter (3.3 ft) expansion cable that facilitates communication between a main PLC rack and a remote or expansion I/O rack, allowing the system to scale across multiple physical racks without signal degradation or performance loss.
The IC693CBL313 provides a stable electrical connection, enabling uninterrupted data transmission between connected modules. With its shielded design and durable construction, it ensures low interference, reliable signal integrity, and long service life, even in industrial environments where electromagnetic noise is common.
Engineered specifically for industrial automation systems, this cable plays a critical role in expanding the PLC’s capabilities, making it essential for systems where modular scalability and distributed I/O are key.
