Product Introduction
Reliable field wiring is the foundation of stable process control and accurate signal acquisition. The FOXBORO TYPE 1 is a specialized termination cable assembly designed for the I/A Series DCS. It serves as a critical physical bridge, providing a pre-assembled, secure, and vibration-resistant connection between Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) and external field instrumentation.
Field engineers and maintenance teams rely on the exact TYPE 1 specification to streamline panel wiring and eliminate the risk of miswiring or loose connections. Whether replacing degraded cabling during a turnaround or outfitting a new FBM cabinet, utilizing this exact assembly guarantees seamless integration and maintains the integrity of critical process loops.
Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- Exact I/A Series Compatibility: Designed specifically for FOXBORO I/A Series DCS; not recommended for third-party backplanes or non-standard FBM modules due to proprietary pinout configurations.
- Pre-Assembled Reliability: Factory-terminated to exact specifications, significantly reducing on-site wiring time, minimizing human error, and ensuring consistent electrical connections.
- Vibration & EMI Resistance: Engineered with robust cabling and shielding to maintain signal integrity in harsh industrial environments with high electrical noise and mechanical shock.
- Rigorous Live Bench Testing: Every unit undergoes point-to-point continuity checks, insulation resistance testing, and mechanical pull-force verification before shipping.
- New Surplus Availability: Factory-sealed condition with verified source traceability, bypassing typical OEM lead times for discontinued I/A Series hardware.
- Anti-Counterfeit Verification: Serial numbers and manufacturing date codes are checked against manufacturer databases during incoming inspection to guarantee authenticity.

FAQ
Will this TYPE 1 termination cable work with my legacy I/A Series system?
The TYPE 1 cable is designed for the I/A Series platform, but compatibility with specific FBM modules depends on the exact part number suffix (e.g., P0916DB TYPE 1). Always verify your system’s exact FBM model and check the I/A Series hardware compatibility matrix before ordering. Mixing incompatible termination cables can cause pinout mismatches and signal failures.
I have an older TYPE 1 cable on hand. Can I use it as a direct replacement?
While various TYPE 1 cables share a similar form factor, they are typically designated for specific FBM modules (such as FBM201, FBM203, or FBM204) and may have different wire gauges, shielding, or connector types. Substituting a different revision without verifying the exact backplane compatibility and functional requirements can result in signal degradation. Always match the exact part number.
Do I need to configure anything in the control strategy for this cable?
No. The TYPE 1 is a purely passive wiring interface with no firmware or configuration parameters. All signal scaling, filtering, and fault detection are handled in the I/A Series control builder for the companion FBM module.
What happens if I use a generic replacement cable instead of the OEM TYPE 1?
Using non-OEM cabling can introduce impedance mismatches, inadequate shielding, or incorrect pinouts, leading to intermittent signal faults, ground loops, or complete loss of field communication. Always use the exact FOXBORO TYPE 1 specification to ensure guaranteed system reliability.
Is there a warranty on this new surplus unit?
Yes. All new surplus modules come with a standard 12-month functional warranty. If the unit fails during normal operation within that period, we provide a direct replacement. We also include our internal test report with every shipment so you can verify the continuity and mechanical test results before installation.
