SNAP TEX Cables and
Breakout Boards
Features
Extend the terminals on your SNAP I/O modules for
easier, cleaner wiring to field devices.
Six-foot (1.8 meter) wiring cables plug into tops of I/O
modules for quick replacement.
Breakout boards offer options such as fusing, power to
loads, and mechanical relays.
Specialty cables integrate older G4 digital I/O with
SNAP PAC I/O.
SNAP TEX Family
SNAP TEX Cables and Breakout Boards
SNAP TEX Cables
SNAP TEX cables provide convenient connections from I/O
modules to field wiring. Most cables are designed to connect
to breakout boards; some cables have flying leads for direct
connection to field devices.
Description
SNAP TEX cables and breakout boards are part of the SNAP
TEX family of wiring and mounting accessories. These parts
save time and expense during installation, maintenance, and
debugging by reducing the time and effort required to wire
field devices to SNAP I/O modules.
Choose the cables and breakout boards for your modules
based on the table that starts on
page 2.
Specifications, dimensions, and wiring diagrams begin on
page 5.
SNAP TEX Breakout Boards
SNAP TEX breakout boards move terminals away from the
crowded rack area for easier installation and maintenance.
Some breakout boards, such as the SNAP-AIMA-HDB, work
only with specific modules; others are designed to be used
with several types of modules. See tables starting on
page 2.

SNAP TEX Cables and Breakout Boards
SNAP-TEX-CBO6, SNAP-TEX-CBE6, SNAP-TEX-CBS6 Cables
These three cables provide neat, protected wiring from the
top of the module to the breakout board. Each cable snaps
into the top of one module and terminates at the breakout
board with 18-gauge, color-coded flying leads, already
stripped and ready for wiring. The leads attach easily to the
breakout board with spring connectors.
SNAP-TEX-CBO6—Odd-numbered
terminals are
commoned.
SNAP-TEX-CBE6—Even-numbered
terminals are
commoned.
SNAP-TEX-CBS6—No
common terminals; wiring is straight
through.
See the table starting on
page 2
to determine the correct
cable for your module and breakout board.
SNAP TEX Cables and Breakout Boards
This photo shows the contrast between a
regularly wired SNAP PAC rack (at upper
left) and one using SNAP-TEX-CBE6, -CBO6,
and -CBS6 cables (at lower right).
The cables protect top-of-module
connections and wires, and make it easier
to follow wiring to field devices.
Cables terminate in color-coded flying
leads, already stripped and ready for wiring.
Installation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting are faster and simpler
using the SNAP TEX cables.
