A Wye cable (IC693CBL305) is supplied with each Series 90-30 CMM and PCM module. The purpose of the Wye cable is to separate the two ports from a single physical connector (that is,the cable separates out the signals). In addition, the Wye cable makes cables used with the Series 90-70 CMM fully compatible with the Series 90-30 CMM and PCM modules.The IC693CBL305 Wye cable is 1 foot in length and has a right angle connector on the end that connects to the serial port on the CMM module. The other end of the cable has dual connectors; one connector is labeled PORT 1, the other connector is labeled PORT 2.The IC693CBL305 Wye cable routes the Port 2, RS-232 signals to the RS-232 designated pins. If you do not use the Wye cable, you will need to make a special cable to connect RS-232 devices to Port 2.
