Features:
- Connects an I/A Series Nodebus structure to the control network.
- Provides MT-RJ multimode-fibre and RJ-45 copper network connections.
- Supports a 2 km fibre path or a 100 m Category 5 copper segment.
- Uses separate module, fibre-port, and copper-port status indicators.
Foxboro NCNI P0972PP receives power and Nodebus communication from the Cellbus structure in which it is installed.
The front MT-RJ and RJ-45 ports provide two different media paths with different distance limits.
Port-specific indicators help distinguish a module fault from a fibre-link or copper-link problem.
The Foxboro NCNI P0972PP Nodebus Control Network Interface Module may still be available through Apter Power after OEM discontinuation.

From the Cellbus structure to the control network
- Mounting point: The module occupies a position in a Cellbus structure.
- Backplane power: Operating power enters through the installed structure.
- Nodebus link: The backplane also carries the Nodebus connection.
- Network egress: Front media ports extend the Nodebus interface to the control network.
Multimode-fibre connection boundary
- Connector: The optical network port uses MT-RJ.
- Fibre type: The documented medium is 62.5/125 µm multimode fibre.
- Distance: The fibre path can extend to 2 km.
- Port state: A dedicated indicator reports the MT-RJ link condition.
Category 5 copper connection boundary
- Connector: The copper network port uses RJ-45.
- Cable type: Category 5 cabling is specified.
- Distance: The copper segment is limited to 100 m.
- Adapter: P0972MQ belongs to the documented copper connection path.
Indicators and exact identity before reconnection
- Module state: Check the module-level indicator before tracing either port.
- Optical state: Use the MT-RJ indicator for the fibre path.
- Copper state: Use the RJ-45 indicator for the Category 5 path.
- Revision match: Record revision 0B with the complete NCNI P0972PP identity.
