APC by Schneider Electric 3730-6 Explosion Proof SCSI Cable

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric 3730-6 is a 6-foot SCSI external cable terminating in HD-68 male connectors on both ends. This cable is specifically engineered for deployment in hazardous locations, carrying critical explosion protection certifications including ATEX, IECEx, GOST, and FM. It is designed to maintain signal integrity and safety in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present, such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, or certain industrial processing areas. The inclusion of a solenoid valve for venting and an external position sensor with a 10m cable further supports its use in specialized control and monitoring applications.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with devices requiring an HD-68 SCSI connection and featuring the necessary explosion protection ratings. It is compatible with control valves and systems that utilize solenoid valves for venting functions, and supports external position sensors. Specific compatibility extends to equipment certified under ATEX II 2G Ex ia IIC/IIB T6, II 2D Ex tb IIIC T6 IP66; IECEx Ex ia IIC/IIB T6, Ex d[ia] IIC/IIB T6, Ex tD A21 IP66 T80°C; FM IS / Class I,II,III / Div. 1 / Gr. ABCDEFG, AEx ia IIC / Class I / Zone 0; and similar hazardous location standards. The limit contact SJ2-SN (NC contact) is also supported.

Installation Notes

Installation requires adherence to hazardous area installation codes. The cable features an aluminum housing as standard, with a stainless steel 1.4581 option available for enhanced corrosion resistance. It includes an interface for VDI/VDE attachments. The solenoid valve operates on 24 V DC. Ensure all connections are made in accordance with local regulations for hazardous locations to maintain certification integrity.
