Honeywell FS-CCE-232-02/L10 Communication Cable

The Honeywell FS-CCE-232-02/L10, also cataloged as the FS-CCE-232-02/L10 Communication Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for RS-232 serial data transmission within Honeywell Safety Manager systems.

Hardware Specifications

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

The FS-CCE-232-02/L10 cable utilizes high-coverage braided metallic shielding and foil wrapping to isolate high-speed serial data lines from external electromagnetic interference (EMI). By preventing serial switching noise from radiating onto adjacent cabinet backplanes, the cable protects the integrity of nearby analog I/O circuits. This preserves channel-to-channel isolation references and prevents signal distortion on field-side loops running 4-20 mA HART loop protocol communications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the "L10" suffix represent in the FS-CCE-232-02/L10 part number?

A: The "L10" suffix designates the factory-manufactured overall cable length of 10.0 meters (32.8 ft).

Q: Is the FS-CCE-232-02/L10 cable designed for full-duplex RS-232 communication?

A: Yes, the cable incorporates dedicated transmit (TX), receive (RX), and handshake lines wired for standard full-duplex serial interface protocols.

Q: Can this communication cable be installed in the same wire duct as 230 VAC power lines?

A: No, low-voltage communication cabling must be physically separated from high-voltage AC cables to prevent inductive noise coupling and signal degradation.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify that controller serial ports are powered down or isolated before seating or removing the cable connectors.
• Tighten all connector thumbscrews and locking latches to ensure constant grounding contact and strain relief.
• Maintain a minimum bend radius of at least 10 times the cable outer diameter during wire duct installation.
• Connect shield drain wires directly to the designated enclosure earth bus bar at a single terminal point to prevent ground loops.
