Product Description
Foxboro P0972UC Invensys I/A Series Fiber Optic Cable
Product Overview
- The Foxboro P0972UC is a Fiber Optic Cable from the Invensys I/A Series (now part of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS). This cable is designed to provide high-speed, reliable, and noise-immune data communication between I/A Series control system components, such as control processors, Fieldbus Modules (FBMs), or network interfaces, typically over longer distances compared to patch cables. It is used in industrial automation applications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation, to ensure robust connectivity in electrically noisy or extended-range environments.
