Channel-to-Channel Isolation
The cable incorporates high-density shielding to suppress EMI and RFI across multiple signal paths. This design ensures channel-to-channel isolation, preventing interference between adjacent I/O signals. Polyurethane jacketing provides mechanical durability and chemical resistance, supporting continuous-duty operation in harsh industrial environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 51198873-100 cable be field-cut and terminated? A: No, it is supplied in fixed lengths or reels; termination must follow Honeywell-approved assemblies to maintain shielding integrity.
Q: What is the minimum bend radius during installation? A: Follow standard industrial cable practices; avoid sharp bends to prevent conductor fatigue and shielding damage.
Q: Is the cable interchangeable with non-Honeywell shielded cables? A: Substitution is not recommended; impedance and shielding specifications are tuned for Honeywell DCS systems.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Route the cable in designated trays or conduits to minimize mechanical stress.
- Ground shielding at a single point to prevent ground loop formation.
- Avoid parallel routing with high-voltage lines to reduce induced noise.
- Maintain bend radius per Honeywell installation standards.
- Inspect polyurethane jacket integrity before energizing the system.
