FS-SICC-0001/L20 | Honeywell | System Interconnection Cable

The Honeywell FS-SICC-0001/L20, also cataloged as the FS-SICC-0001 System Interconnection Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for signal routing between Safety Manager chassis I/O modules and Field Termination Assemblies (FTAs) within Honeywell Safety Manager systems.

Hardware Specifications

4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol and Channel-to-Channel Isolation

The 20-meter multi-core cable uses thermoplastic-insulated AWG 22 copper conductors enclosed in a double-shielded outer mesh to maintain channel-to-channel isolation principles. The physical dielectric barrier prevents capacitive cross-talk and limits induced noise pickup during parallel signal runs, preserving 4-20 mA HART loop protocol telemetry integrity and discrete safety shutdown logic paths between chassis I/O slots and field termination boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What primary cabinet hardware interfaces are connected by the FS-SICC-0001/L20 assembly?

A: The cable links Safety Manager chassis I/O slots directly to field termination assemblies (FTAs) across a 20-meter distance.

Q: Can this cable assembly be unplugged while the connected controller rack is energized?

A: Disconnecting the cable severs active signal paths for the corresponding I/O channels; connected field loops or safety outputs must be placed in bypass before physical extraction.

Q: How does the double-shielded construction protect signal transmission over 20 meters?

A: The inner foil and outer braided metallic shielding eliminate common-mode noise and electromagnetic interference, preventing signal degradation across the 20 m cable span.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Route the 20-meter cable assembly through low-voltage instrument raceways, keeping clear of high-voltage AC conductors and drive output lines.
• Observe a minimum static bend radius during installation to prevent outer jacket deformation and internal foil shield cracking.
• Align connectors squarely with mating chassis and FTA headers, engaging retention screws or latches to maintain vibration-proof electrical contact.
• Connect the cable shield drain wire to the cabinet protective earth (PE) ground bar at a single termination point to prevent circulating ground currents.
