TB Holder and Cables
The TB holder secures the male TBs neatly in place and forms a single connector plug per
module. The wires connected to the TBs are concealed in the holder. The module and the TB
holder provide a coding mechanism to prevent cabling errors. Extractor handles enable easy
release of the TB holder connector from the module. An optional three-meter cable braid,
completely wired with holder and cable, is available.
A TB holder kit is available to enable self-assembly of cables. User assembled cables should
use wires of up to 0.4mm (26 AWG). The TB holder kit does not include a cable.
