Features:
- Industrial-Grade Hypalon/XLPE Construction for Extreme Environments
- Precision 3.0-Meter Type 5 Termination for Legacy I/A Series® DCS
- EMI/RFI Shielding with Secure Ring-Lug Termination Options
The FOXBORO P0926GQ is engineered with a rugged Hypalon outer jacket and XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) conductor insulation, delivering reliable performance across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +90°C. This material combination provides exceptional resistance to ozone, oils, chemicals, and moisture, making it ideal for harsh industrial applications such as refineries, chemical plants, and outdoor compressor stations where standard PVC cables would degrade prematurely.
Specifically designed as a Type 5 termination cable for Foxboro I/A Series® distributed control systems, the FOXBORO P0926GQ measures exactly 3.0 meters (9.8 feet) – an optimized length that balances cabinet routing flexibility with minimal signal attenuation. This cable is factory-configured to interface seamlessly with FBM224 Modbus communication modules and compatible baseplates, ensuring deterministic RS-485 signal integrity without requiring additional configuration or calibration.
The FOXBORO P0926GQ features a braided shield that provides superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, preserving signal accuracy in environments with variable frequency drives, heavy motors, and high-power switching equipment. Additionally, it supports #6 ring-lug connectors (9.5 mm) and accepts wire sizes from 24 to 12 AWG, allowing vibration-resistant mechanical clamping that prevents loosening in high-shock applications such as reciprocating compressors and turbine control cabinets.
The P0926GQ FOXBORO I/A Series System Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

FOXBORO P0926GQ I/A Series System Module
General
- Manufacturer FOXBORO
- Model P0926GQ
- Condition New Original ready stock
- Product Family P0926JMA,P0916WF,P0916VL
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Signal Integrity Under EMI/RFI:The cable's braided shield, combined with twisted-pair construction, attenuates common-mode noise from VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives). This ensures that 4-20 mA loop-powered transmitters and Modbus RTU packets maintain <0.1% error rates.
- Vibration-Resistant Terminations:Support for #6 ring lugs (9.5 mm) allows mechanical clamping to terminal blocks, preventing creep and loosening in compressor skids or reciprocating pump applications—an advantage over spring-clamp alternatives.
- Wide Temperature Monitoring Accuracy:Unlike standard PVC cables that stiffen or crack below -20°C, the Hypalon jacket remains flexible down to -40°C. This permits reliable remote I/O communication in cold storage or arctic pipeline monitoring without heater trace assistance.
- Short-Distance Deterministic Communication:At exactly 3.0 meters, the FOXBORO P0926GQ minimizes propagation delay for time-sensitive fieldbus cycles (e.g., FBM224's scan rate of 10–20 ms), making it suitable for high-speed interlock logic between discrete input/output modules.
- Direct Plug-and-Play Integration:The FOXBORO P0926GQ requires no software configuration. When physically attached between a compatible modular baseplate (e.g., for FBM2xx series) and a field termination assembly (FTA), the I/A Series® system auto-detects the Type 5 termination and applies default 500 kbps baud rates for RS-485.
- Cross-Reference for Legacy Database Updates:When programming replacement logic in Foxboro's Control Configuration Tool (CCT), engineers must enter the original part number P0926GQ in asset management records. Substituting with LSZH variant P0928AY requires updating the cable material property field to avoid false preventive maintenance alerts.
- Hazardous Area Compliance Segregation:For ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 installations, the programming procedure must document that P0926GQ (Hypalon) is installed separately from intrinsically safe (IS) circuits. If migrating to P0928AY, revise the control drawing to reflect LSZH's higher temperature rating for dust ignition protection.
- Firmware-Independent Operation:Unlike smart cables with embedded electronics, the FOXBORO P0926GQ is entirely passive, meaning no firmware version conflicts occur during DCS upgrades from I/A Series® 8.x to 9.x. This guarantees spares compatibility across multiple control system generations without reprogramming the FBM's personality.
- Upstream & Downstream Oil & Gas:In refineries and pipeline compressor stations, the FOXBORO P0926GQ connects FBM224 Modbus modules to RTUs and flow computers. Its Hypalon jacket withstands hydrocarbon splash and ozone exposure, ensuring uninterrupted custody transfer data.
- Legacy Power Generation Assets:For coal-fired and combined-cycle plants running legacy Foxboro I/A Series® systems, this cable is a direct-fit replacement for turbine control loops and boiler drum level monitoring, where field-proven reliability outweighs the need for LSZH materials.
- Chemical Processing Units:The XLPE insulation resists dielectric breakdown in high-humidity, corrosive vapor environments (e.g., chlorine or ammonia plants), preserving signal integrity for emergency shutdown (ESD) valves and pH analyzers.
- Water/Wastewater Infrastructure:Large-scale municipal treatment facilities with decade-old Foxboro installations use the P0926GQ for actuator feedback and pump status signals. Its -40°C rating allows unheated lift station operation in cold climates.
