What's the recommend control cable to connect a Eaton UPS Relay card (XSLOTRELAY) to DCS I/O? The card users DB-15 connectors.

I think this is the sort of issue where you must go to the respective manufacturers, among other things to determine if the devices are compatible.

Most likely any cable that has a DB-15 connector then.

Also called D-sub connectors and plenty of information in the net.

Also looks like eaton has a nice web side to show the connectors on their cards.

The solution lies in a phone call to Eaton.

Thought I see what others have used.

Anyway, had spoken to Eaton earlier, they said the card can be connected via DB15 connectors or any control cable with 15+ wires/threads to connect to the contactor on the PCB is good.

Cheers!

Ron
