Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct FT4 cable for your I/A Series system:
- Short spur (<10 m): 4000188-310 (this model) — standard length, direct FBM connection
- Medium trunk (10–50 m): 4000188-311 or 4000188-312 — extended length variants
- Custom length required: Contact Konmask.com for cut-to-length or custom assembly options
- Replacement for failed cable: Match part number exactly; verify connector orientation before installation
- New system design: Refer to Foxboro I/A Series Fieldbus Wiring Guidelines (PSS 21H-2Z1 B4)

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a generic fieldbus cable instead of the Foxboro 4000188-310?
A: Technically possible if the cable meets FT4 impedance (100 Ω ±20%) and capacitance specs, but Foxboro recommends OEM cables to ensure system certification and warranty compliance.
Q: Is the 4000188-310 compatible with FOUNDATION Fieldbus or PROFIBUS?
A: No. The FT4 fieldbus is a Foxboro proprietary protocol. It is not directly interchangeable with FF H1 or PROFIBUS PA without a protocol gateway.
Q: What is the lead time for this part?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. Out-of-stock items typically have a 2–4 week lead time. Contact us for real-time availability.
Q: Do you provide a test report with the cable?
A: Yes. A functional test report and certificate of conformance are available upon request at no additional charge.
Q: Can Konmask.com supply other Foxboro I/A Series spare parts?
A: Yes. We stock a wide range of Foxboro FBM modules, CP controllers, power supplies, and accessories. Submit your full BOM for a consolidated quote.
