Description

Product Overview

The Foxboro RH928AW is a Type 5 LSZH termination cable used with Foxboro I/A Series and Foxboro Evo 200 Series I/O systems. Schneider Electric documentation identifies RH928AW as the 1.0 m (3.2 ft) low-smoke zero-halogen termination cable, superseding the earlier P0928AW reference. It is used to connect applicable Fieldbus Modules or termination assemblies within the Foxboro I/O architecture. The same cable family includes RH928AX, RH928AY, and RH928AZ for 2 m, 3 m, and 5 m lengths. This is a passive interconnection component rather than an active PLC or DCS module, so connector compatibility, cable type, length, and associated termination assembly should be checked carefully before replacement. Schneider documentation specifically associates the cable family with serial-interface field device modules such as FBM230 and FBM231.

Technical Specifications

Schneider Electric specifies the -40°C to +105°C temperature range for this Type 5 LSZH cable family and identifies RH928AW as the 1.0 m version.

Key Features and Benefits

• 1.0 m cable length for compact Foxboro cabinet installations.
• Type 5 LSZH construction reduces smoke and halogen emissions under fire conditions.
• Designed for use with Foxboro 200 Series termination architectures.
• Direct replacement reference for the earlier P0928AW cable.
• Supports structured connections between I/O hardware and field termination assemblies.
• Useful for maintaining legacy Foxboro systems without changing the existing cabinet wiring architecture.
• The standardized cable family makes length selection straightforward when different cabinet layouts are required.

Personally, I would verify the termination assembly and cable length together before ordering. A cable with the same general connector appearance is not necessarily a valid substitute in a Foxboro I/O installation.

RH928AX — 2.0 m Type 5 LSZH termination cable for installations requiring additional wiring distance.

RH928AY — 3.0 m version of the same termination-cable family.

RH928AZ — 5.0 m version for larger cabinet or field-interface layouts.

P0928AW — Previous Foxboro reference superseded by the RH928AW designation.

Installation and Maintenance

Before installation, confirm the complete cable reference, required length, mating connectors, associated FBM or termination assembly, and cabinet wiring drawing. Schneider Electric documentation shows that termination cables form part of the connection between Foxboro field modules and their termination assemblies.

Inspect connectors for bent contacts, contamination, corrosion, and damaged locking hardware. Avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling force, and routing alongside high-current power conductors where practical. Maintain the cable’s shielding and grounding arrangement exactly as specified by the applicable system documentation.

For RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 applications, the electrical interface is determined by the associated field module and termination assembly rather than by the cable alone.

Product Warranty

Warranty coverage depends on supplier, stock condition, and purchase agreement. Confirm the exact RH928AW reference, cable length, condition, and packaging before procurement. For legacy Foxboro installations, retaining the original part-number label is useful for future traceability.

The Foxboro RH928AW is best maintained as an exact-length Foxboro termination-cable spare, particularly where preserving the original I/A Series or Foxboro Evo wiring architecture is important.
