Cordsets Achieve FF-844 Compliance

Dec. 1, 2008
A line of 7/8-in. Mini Sac cordsets, engineered to help reduce installation time and cost, are the first connectorized cables to receive official compliance registration in accordance with the Fieldbus Foundation’s FF-844 requirements for H1 Type A cable, says the vendor.

The H1 Cable Test Specification (Document FF-844) is designed for manufacturers developing cables for Foundation Fieldbus H1 (31.25kbit/s) installations. This Type A overmolded cordset for H1 physical media is constructed of instrumentation tray cable (ITC)/power-limited tray cable (PLTC-ER) which can be used as open wiring without a metallic sheath or armor between the cable tray and equipment for up to 15 meters.  Because it is not necessary to install conduit to every individual device, ITC reduces the installation time and cost.
