GE IC695NKT001 – PACSystems RX3i Network Kit for cabinet-ready Ethernet connections

The GE IC695NKT001 is commonly used as a network accessory kit for PACSystems RX3i installations. From my experience, it’s the kind of kit you reach for when you want clean, repeatable Ethernet routing inside the control cabinet—especially around RX3i CPUs, Ethernet modules, or PROFINET controllers. It typically helps standardize cabinet wiring and grounding practices without changing the system’s control logic, which is a small but meaningful win for commissioning time.

You might notice that this part number gets paired with Ethernet-capable RX3i modules (like IC695ETM001 or IC695PNC001) to keep panel layouts consistent across machines. One thing I appreciate is how it reduces the “one-off” wiring surprises when you scale up or deploy to multiple sites.

Key Features

• Purpose-built for PACSystems RX3i cabinets – Helps organize Ethernet connectivity around RX3i CPUs and network modules without adding powered electronics.
• Passive accessory – No separate power supply; integrates into the cabinet layout to support clean routing and strain relief in many cases.
• Consistent panel builds – Typically used to standardize cable handling, shielding, and labeling so multiple panels look and behave the same.
• Supports Ethernet-based RX3i topologies – Ideal when deploying IC695ETM001 Ethernet interfaces or IC695PNC001 PROFINET controllers.
• Cabinet-friendly materials – Designed for industrial control environments with proper mounting provisions and tidy wire management.
• Field feedback – A packaging plant in Ohio told us it “neatly trimmed 30–40 minutes off each panel build” by reducing ad-hoc cable routing.

• IC695PSA140 / IC695PSD140 – RX3i power supplies; selection depends on system load and redundancy needs.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment – Maintain RX3i cabinet ambient within 0–60°C with adequate ventilation. Avoid tight bends on Ethernet patch leads.
• Grounding & shielding – Follow RX3i bonding practices; in many cases, shield terminations at one end reduce ground loops.
• Wiring – Route Ethernet separately from high-voltage and high-current lines. Use proper strain relief near the RX3i rack and door pass-throughs.
• Network layout – Keep cable lengths within Ethernet spec; label both ends for fast maintenance. This seems obvious, but it saves hours during changeovers.
• Routine checks – Inspect for cable abrasion, loose ties, or connector latch wear during scheduled PM. Replace any damaged patch leads promptly.
• Firmware & diagnostics – While the kit is passive, it’s smart to keep associated RX3i CPUs and network modules updated to the recommended firmware level.
• Documentation – Verify the kit’s packing list on receipt; manufacturers occasionally revise included items such as cable lengths or labels.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufacturer ecosystem typically supports CE and UL for RX3i installations; RoHS compliance is common on associated hardware.
• Warranty: 12 months from delivery (365 days).
• Each unit is inspected prior to dispatch; we ship in protective packaging suitable for industrial spares.

If you’re consolidating standard builds across multiple lines, this part helps keep Ethernet layouts uniform. In most cases, that means quicker panel FATs and fewer surprises at site acceptance.
