Single-Ended 8-Pin Cables
Single-ended 8-pin mini-DIN cables transmit power, analog and digital signals. They have a male 8-pin connector on one end and are blunt cut on the other end, for custom wiring of your Alicat instrument to your system. Single-ended 8-pin cables come in the following lengths:
• 6 ft (1.8 m) - DC-61
• 6 ft (1.8 m) with right angle connector - DC-6RT*
• 25 ft (7.6 m) - DC-251
• 50 ft (15.2 m) - DC-501
• 75 ft (22.9 m) - DC-751
• 100 ft (30.5 m) - DC-1001
*The DC-6RT has a right-angle connector for use in tight spaces. This cable is only available in the 6 ft length (1.8 m).
Double-Ended 8-Pin Cables
Double-ended DC Series cables have male 8-pin connectors on both ends and carry power, analog and digital signals. They are available in the following lengths:
• 6 ft (1.8 m) (DC-62)
• 25 ft (7.6 m) - DC-252
• 50 ft (15.2 m) - DC-502
Double-Ended 8-Pin RS Cables for BB3 and BB9
Double-ended 8-pin mini-DIN RS cables are perfect for connecting your instruments to a BB3 or BB9 multi-drop breakout box. RS cables have male 8-pin connectors on both ends and carry only power and digital (RX/TX) signals. They are available in two lengths:
• 3 ft (0.9 m) - DC-32RS
• 6 ft (1.8 m) - DC-62RS
Wire colours for 8-pin mini-DIN cables are labeled according to our standard 8-pin mini-DIN pinout:
• Black – primary 4 - 20 mA current analog output
• Brown – secondary analog output (if used, DC only)
• Red – RS-232 digital serial input
• Orange – setpoint input or remote tare (via grounding)
• Yellow – RS-232 digital serial output
• Green – primary 0 - 5 V, 1 - 5 V, or 0 - 10 V DC analog output
• Blue – DC power input
• Purple/White – ground
