Technical FAQs

What type of cable is the TSXCDP303?
It’s a 3 m connecting cable with HE10 20‑way connectors designed for Modicon Premium PLC sub‑base interfaces.
Which connectors does it use at each end?
HE10 type 20‑way connectors both on module and PLC ends.
What is the cable length?
The standard length is 3 m (3000 mm).
Is this product still current?
Schneider Electric lists it as discontinued, though compatible spare or refurbished units are available.
What wire gauge is the cable?
Wire section is 0.324 mm² (AWG 22).
Can this cable be used with other Modicon series?
It connects primarily with Modicon Premium sub‑bases, but HE10 physical interfaces may fit similar TSX I/O modules.
Does it support signal conditioning or transmission?
This cable provides physical link paths; it does not itself condition signals.
Is shielding provided?
Yes — standard industrial PVC jacket and construction support signal integrity in typical panel environments.
What environments is it suitable for?
General industrial wiring; avoid corrosive or high‑temperature conditions outside PLC cabinet specs.
Can it be cut to shorten?
Modifying factory connectors is not recommended — altering connectors may compromise fit and signal reliability.
