Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original TC-205-02-8M5 is unavailable or end-of-life, the following options may be evaluated as replacements. Always verify connector pinout, cable length, and system certification requirements before substitution.
- TC-205-02-8M5 (OEM Original) – ICS Triplex, direct fit, recommended for SIL-certified systems
- TC-205-02-xMx variants – Same series with different cable lengths; confirm length suffix before ordering
- Custom-fabricated shielded power cables – Must match connector spec, wire gauge, and shielding; requires engineering validation
- Third-party certified cables – Available from qualified automation cable suppliers; must present ICS Triplex compatibility documentation
Note: Konmask.com supplies genuine OEM parts. Contact our team for cross-reference verification before ordering a substitute.
Why Choose the Original TC-205-02-8M5

Typical Applications
- Oil & gas platform safety shutdown systems (ESD)
- Petrochemical plant distributed control systems (DCS)
- Power generation turbine control panels
- Nuclear and critical infrastructure TMR safety systems
- Offshore and onshore process automation chassis interconnects
System Compatibility
The TC-205-02-8M5 is compatible with the following ICS Triplex system families:
- ICS Triplex Trusted™ TMR Safety System – Primary application platform
- ICS Triplex T8000 Series – Verify chassis revision before ordering
- Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley TMR platforms – ICS Triplex was acquired by Rockwell; some legacy systems share chassis architecture
Always cross-reference the chassis model number and cable routing diagram in your system documentation before installation.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the correct cable for your application:
- Step 1 – Identify chassis model: Locate the chassis part number on the system nameplate or engineering drawings.
- Step 2 – Confirm cable length: The suffix 8M5 indicates approximately 8.5 m. Measure the routing path before ordering.
- Step 3 – Check connector type: Verify the chassis power connector matches the TC-205-02 series connector profile.
- Step 4 – Verify certification requirements: For SIL-rated systems, only OEM cables maintain system certification. Document the substitution if using an equivalent.
- Step 5 – Contact Konmask: Our technical team can verify compatibility using your system serial number or engineering BOM.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a generic shielded cable instead of the TC-205-02-8M5?
A: Technically possible, but not recommended for SIL-certified systems. Generic cables may not meet the connector specification or shielding requirements, and their use may void your system’s safety certification.
Q: Is the TC-205-02-8M5 still in production?
A: ICS Triplex legacy products may be discontinued. Konmask.com maintains surplus stock. Contact us to confirm current availability.
Q: What is the difference between TC-205-02-8M5 and other TC-205-02 variants?
A: The suffix denotes cable length. The 8M5 suffix indicates approximately 8.5 m. Other variants (e.g., 5M0, 10M0) are the same cable in different lengths.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask.com offers a 90-day warranty on all parts against manufacturing defects. Safety-critical applications should be validated by a qualified engineer upon installation.
Q: Can you provide a certificate of conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes, upon request for qualifying orders. Please specify this requirement at the time of order.
