FS-SICC-0001/L3 | Honeywell | System Interconnection Cable For Chassis IO

The Honeywell FS-SICC-0001/L3, also cataloged as the FS-SICC-0001 System Interconnection Cable For Chassis IO, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-integrity chassis I/O signal routing and termination interface execution within Honeywell Safety Manager platforms.

Hardware Specifications

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

The 20-conductor AWG 22 cable construction utilizes double-shielded braid and foil protection to enforce channel-to-channel isolation principles across interconnect paths. This multi-layer shielding prevents capacitive cross-talk and high-frequency noise insertion when routing field instrumentation lines alongside chassis I/O. The assembly preserves analog telemetry integrity for 4-20 mA HART loop protocol transmitters and safety shutdown logic paths linked between chassis racks and termination units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What physical conductor configuration is utilized within the FS-SICC-0001/L3 assembly?

A: The assembly contains 20 individual AWG 22 (0.34 mm2) conductors enclosed within a overall double-shielded jacket measuring 9.93 mm in outer diameter.

Q: Can this cable be disconnected while the host chassis I/O system is actively powered?

A: Unplugging the cable disrupts active signals passing through the corresponding 20-pin channel interface; connected field loops or safety channels must be bypassed prior to disconnection.

Q: How does double-shielding impact performance over the 3 m distance?

A: The combination of foil and braided shielding attenuates external electromagnetic interference (EMI), suppressing signal degradation and induced voltage spikes across the 3 m length.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Route the cable assembly through dedicated low-voltage instrument wireways, maintaining separation from high-voltage AC conductors.
• Observe a minimum bending radius of 60 mm during installation to prevent deformation of the outer jacket and damage to internal foil shielding.
• Seat the factory-terminated connectors fully into the chassis I/O slot and secure retention latches or screws to maintain low contact resistance.
• Ensure the shield drain wire connects directly to the cabinet protective earth (PE) grounding bar at a single termination point to eliminate ground loops.
