TCSD-08-D-17.00-01

Rectangular cable assemblies encompass a wide range of external and internal applications that involve the transmission of power, signals, and/or data. As its name implies, a rectangular cable assembly consists of two or more cables arranged in an orderly and often easily recognizable shape and typically secured together with a holding material or a cover. According to this definition, this technology can be used in a variety of applications, especially when dealing with irregular configurations.

The TCSD-08-D-17.00-01 is a prime example of this type of technology. It is an external rectangular cable assembly with 8 channels (4 pairs of power, 4 pairs of signals), rated at 17A and 500V. This assembly suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, and is constructed with a voltage rating of 250V AC/DC. The sheath and connectors are constructed from polyester thermoplastics, in order to protect the cable assembly and its inner components. The individual cables are assigned to each specific pair of power and signal, and are wrapped with a metallic braid (tinned copper, silver or aluminium) to provide EMC, abrasion and mechanical protection.

The TCSD-08-D-17.00-01 rectangular cable assembly operates according to the power, data, and/or signal transmission requirements of the application. Depending on the challenges posed by the environment, multiple technologies may be incorporated, such as differential signals, LVDS, ethernet, and serial data. Additionally, the appropriate types of connectors may also be incorporated onto the cable assembly, such as D-Sub, 0.050” pitch, or a variant thereof.

These components are inserted into the appropriate holes in the assembly, after which the internal wiring is connected. Upon completion of the assembly, it is waterproofed and sealed shut. Once sealed, the resistance of the entire unit is measured in order to ensure its integrity and to certify the performance according to the required specifications.

In conclusion, the TCSD-08-D-17.00-01 cable assembly is an effective solution for a wide range of external and internal applications, especially those involving the transmission of power, data, and/or signals. This type of technology is able to offer reliable, secure connections while simultaneously providing EMC, abrasion and mechanical protection with its metallic braid and polyester thermoplastic sheath and connectors.
