The IC693CBL300 called “Wye cables,” have a single male 25-pin D connector on one end and a two-headed (one male, one female) 25-pin D connector on the other end.
Wye Split Design
Durable Construction
100% continuous shielding
The 3 foot cable (IC693CBL300) can also be used as a WYE adapter cable to simplify building custom length cables . The I/O Bus expansion cables are used to extend the I/O bus to expansion or remote baseplates in a Series 90-30 I/O system when additional I/O slots are needed or baseplates are required some distance from the CPU baseplate. The prewired I/O bus expansion cables can be used for connecting either expansion or remote baseplates. Where required cable length is not available in a standard cable, a custom cable must be built.As a Wye jumper for custom built point-to-point cables (IC693CBL300 is often used for this). This combination saves time since a point-to-point cable can be built much faster than a Wye cable.

Oil and Gas
In refineries or Wellhead Control Panels (WCP), it extends the bus to accommodate intrinsic safety I/O modules within confined spaces for monitoring pressure and Emergency Shutdown (ESD) valves.
Power Generation
Utilized in power plant auxiliary control systems (e.g., water treatment, ash handling) to expand data acquisition slots via IC693CBL300 for real-time monitoring of generator status.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
In GMP-compliant cleanrooms or reactor controls, it is used to expand high-precision analog input modules to strictly monitor environmental humidity, temperature, and reaction pressure.
Pulp and Paper
Inside high-density control cabinets of massive paper machines, it daisy-chains baseplates to collect paper-break detection data, dryer cylinder temperatures, and drive motor speed feedback.
Steel and Metallurgy
Widely applied in blast furnace batching and rolling mill lines to expand heavy-duty industrial I/O modules, ensuring stable signal transmission in harsh, high-temperature, and dusty environments.
When using the IC693CBL300 cable, always ensure the system is completely powered down before insertion or removal, install a bus terminator on the final backplane, and properly ground the cable shield to block EMI. Additionally, the total length of all daisy-chained cables must never exceed 15 meters (50 feet) to maintain safe and stable data transmission.
The IC693CBL300 is a 1-meter (3-foot) I/O bus expansion Wye cable designed specifically for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC system.
What is the primary purpose of the IC693CBL300 cable?
It is primarily used to connect the main CPU baseplate to expansion or remote I/O baseplates, thereby increasing the number of available system slots.
How do I use the IC693CBL300 in a PLC system?
Plug the single-headed end into the expansion port on the right side of the CPU baseplate, and connect the dual-headed end to the next expansion baseplate. The female port can be used to continue the daisy-chain or connect a programmer.
Which PLC models are compatible with the IC693CBL300?
It is fully compatible with the entire range of GE Fanuc Series 90-30 CPU baseplates and expansion baseplates that support bus extension capability.
Is there a maximum distance limit when using the IC693CBL300?
Yes. The total combined length of the entire I/O expansion bus (including all daisy-chained cables) must not exceed 15 meters (50 feet).
