ICS Triplex TC-201-02-8M5 Chassis Fan Power Cable | Replacement, Equivalent & Selection Guide
The ICS Triplex TC-201-02-8M5 is a dedicated chassis fan power cable engineered for Triconex triple-modular redundant (TMR) safety systems. Designed to deliver stable, uninterrupted power to chassis cooling fans, this cable is a critical component in maintaining thermal management and system uptime in safety-instrumented systems (SIS) across oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation facilities.

Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original TC-201-02-8M5 is unavailable or end-of-life, engineers may evaluate the following alternatives. Always verify connector pinout, cable gauge, and length before substitution:
- TC-201-02-4M5 – Shorter variant (approx. 4.5 m); same connector family, verify chassis reach
- TC-201-02-12M5 – Longer variant for extended rack distances
- Custom-fabricated cable – Manufactured to OEM spec using ICS Triplex connector kits; requires engineering sign-off
- Rockwell Automation equivalent – Post-acquisition Rockwell may list compatible cables under updated part numbers; cross-reference with Rockwell BOM
Note: Konmask.com recommends using OEM-specified cables in SIS environments. Any substitution must be validated by a qualified functional safety engineer (TÜV FS Engineer or equivalent).
Why Choose the Original Model
- SIL-rated system integrity – OEM cables are tested and qualified as part of the Triconex SIL 3 certified architecture
- Exact connector fit – Proprietary connectors eliminate field-wiring errors and ensure secure mating with chassis fan assemblies
- Thermal & EMI rating – Cable insulation and shielding meet the environmental requirements of industrial control rooms and hazardous areas
- Warranty & traceability – OEM parts carry full manufacturer traceability, essential for SIS documentation and functional safety audits
- Reduced commissioning risk – Drop-in replacement with zero re-engineering; minimizes plant downtime during maintenance windows
Typical Applications
- Triconex TMR chassis fan power supply in oil & gas emergency shutdown (ESD) systems
- Cooling cable replacement during scheduled Triconex chassis maintenance
- Spare parts inventory for SIS panels in petrochemical and LNG facilities
- Power generation turbine control and protection systems using Triconex platforms
- Offshore platform safety systems requiring IEC 61511 compliance
System Compatibility
- Triconex Tricon – Main chassis and expansion chassis fan assemblies
- Triconex Trident – Compatible chassis configurations (verify model revision)
- Triconex TSAA – Triconex Safety Automation Architecture enclosures
- ICS Triplex T8000 Series – Confirm chassis fan connector compatibility before ordering
Always cross-reference the chassis model number and fan assembly part number with the ICS Triplex hardware manual before procurement.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm TC-201-02-8M5 is the correct cable for your application:
- Step 1 – Identify chassis model: Confirm your Triconex chassis model (Tricon, Trident, or TSAA) from the nameplate or system documentation
- Step 2 – Measure cable run: Verify that the 8M5 (~8.5 m) length is appropriate for your panel layout; select a shorter or longer variant if needed
- Step 3 – Check connector type: Match the fan assembly connector on your chassis to the TC-201-02 connector family
- Step 4 – Confirm power rating: Ensure the cable’s current rating matches the fan assembly’s power draw specification
- Step 5 – Validate with OEM documentation: Cross-reference with the ICS Triplex hardware manual or Rockwell Automation successor documentation

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a generic power cable instead of TC-201-02-8M5 in a Triconex SIS?
A: Not recommended. Triconex SIS platforms are SIL 3 certified as a complete system. Substituting non-OEM cables may void the safety certification and must be reviewed by a qualified functional safety engineer.
Q: Is TC-201-02-8M5 still in production?
A: ICS Triplex was acquired by Rockwell Automation. Availability may vary. Konmask.com maintains stock of both new and refurbished units. Contact us for current lead times.
Q: What is the difference between TC-201-02-8M5 and TC-201-02-4M5?
A: The primary difference is cable length — 8M5 is approximately 8.5 m versus 4.5 m for the 4M5 variant. Connector type and power rating are identical within the TC-201-02 family.
Q: Do you provide a test report or CoC with the cable?
A: Yes. A certificate of conformance and continuity test report are available upon request for all units shipped from Konmask.com.
Q: Can Konmask.com source this cable urgently for a plant shutdown?
A: Yes. We offer expedited sourcing and express international shipping. Contact us with your required delivery date and we will confirm availability within 24 hours.
