ICS TRIPLEX TC-313-03-xmx Local Expansion Cable Assembly
The module has a Power PC Processor. Bootstrap software is stored on Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM). Operational firmware is stored in flash memory
and may be upgraded via the Front Panel Port.
The Trusted Operating System is used on both the TMR Processor and CI. The real time
kernel is a high speed, high functionality kernel made for fault tolerant distributed systems.
The kernel provides basic services (such as memory management) and interference free
software environments.
A module watchdog monitors processor operation and the power supply unit (PSU) output
voltages.
The module is supplied with a dual redundant +24 Vdc power feed from the chassis
backplane. An on-board power supply unit provides voltage conversion, supply conditioning
and protection.
This type of Trusted Communications Cable is designed to connect a specified position on a
Trusted Expander Interface Adapter Unit T8312 to a Trusted Fibre TX/RX Unit T8314.
The Expander Interface Adapter end of the cable (SKT1) is fitted with a 12-way LEMO plug.
The Fibre TX/RX end is fitted with three 4-way LEMO plugs.
The cable assembly consists of either:
• Cat 5. individually screened with LSZH sheath (TC-302-02), or
• Cat 5. screened UL Certified sheath (TC-302-03).
The ends of the sheathing are covered in heatshrink at both ends (LEMO plug) and heated to
help prevent fraying.
Communications Cable Type TC-303-0X
This type of Trusted Communications Cable is designed to connect a Trusted Fibre TX/RX
Unit T8314 to a Trusted Expander Processor T8310 located in a remote Trusted Expander
Chassis.
The Expander Processor end of the cable (SKT2) is fitted with a 96-way type ‘C’ connector
housed in a double-width hood. The hood is fitted with an earth braid. The Fibre TX/RX Unit
end is fitted with three 4-way LEMO plugs.
The cable assembly consists of either:
• Cat 5. individually screened with LSZH sheath (TC-303-02), or
• Cat 5. screened UL Certified sheath (TC-303-03).
The ends of the sheathing are covered in heatshrink sleeving and heated to help prevent
fraying.
