Introduction — Rack Expansion Power Link for Series 90-70 Systems
The GE IC697CBL700 Power Supply Extension Cable is a dedicated interconnect cable designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems. Its primary function is to extend power distribution from a single power supply to a second PLC rack, enabling multi-rack system expansion without requiring an additional power supply unit.
This cable is widely used in large distributed control configurations where system scalability, stable power sharing, and synchronized rack operation are required. It also carries essential control sequencing signals to ensure safe and coordinated startup and shutdown between connected racks.
