Overview
The GE Fanuc IC693CBL302 is a 15 m I/O bus expansion cable designed for use with Series 90-30 PLC systems. It connects compatible system components within an expansion link and is intended for use as the final cable in the link. Its continuous shield, Wye adapter configuration, and terminated end connector distinguish it from a standard extension cable. Confirm the required cable arrangement and termination before selecting it for a replacement.

Cable Termination and System Configuration
The IC693CBL302 serves as the final cable in an I/O expansion link. Its end termination helps establish the required bus termination arrangement. Therefore, verify the physical connector layout and termination requirements against the installed PLC configuration before replacing an existing cable.
The maximum number of expansion connections depends on the CPU and system configuration. Do not assume that every Series 90-30 CPU supports the same expansion arrangement or cable count.
