Honeywell FS-SICC-0001/L10 System Interconnection Cable

The Honeywell FS-SICC-0001/L10, also cataloged as the FS-SICC-0001 System Interconnection Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for low-noise signal routing between Safety Manager chassis I/O modules and Field Termination Assemblies (FTAs) within Honeywell Safety Manager systems. The 10-meter assembly incorporates 20 conductors of AWG 22 wire to execute discrete and analog signal transfers across cabinet backplanes.

Hardware Specifications

Process Control & DCS Signal Processing Characteristics

The FS-SICC-0001/L10 system cable features channel-to-channel isolation safeguards via individual twisted pair geometries and double-shielded braid/foil construction. Engineered to maintain continuous signal fidelity for 4-20 mA HART loop protocol signals and low-voltage digital I/O lines, the cable suppresses high-frequency electromagnetic and radio-frequency noise. The heavy-duty shielding configuration mitigates ground loop current formation across extended 10-meter interconnect runs between logic solver racks and field termination panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What shielding mechanism prevents signal distortion over the 10-meter cable length?

A: The assembly uses a double-shielding design incorporating an aluminum foil wrap combined with a tinned copper braid to deliver total EMI and RFI protection across industrial noise frequencies.

Q: What pin and wire configuration governs the FS-SICC-0001/L10 cable?

A: The unit consists of 20 AWG 22 (0.34 mm2) conductors terminated to a Honeywell-specific chassis connector on one end and a 20-pin FTA connector on the field side.

Q: What temperature limits restrict cable routing in field enclosures?

A: The high-temperature polymer insulation supports continuous operation from -20 to +80 deg C, with storage limits rated between -40 and +85 deg C.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Cable Handling & Bend Radius: Route the 9.93 mm outer diameter cable along wire trays without exceeding the minimum allowable bend radius to prevent internal foil shield tearing or conductor strain.
• Connector Mounting: Align the 20-pin FTA and chassis connector keyways carefully before pressing into position. Secure all locking screws or clips to guarantee gas-tight electrical contact.
• Shielding & Grounding: Ensure integral drain wires and braid shields make direct ground contact at the dedicated chassis earth point to prevent floating shield potentials.
• Conduit Separation: Lay the system interconnect cable in dedicated low-voltage instrument ducts, keeping a minimum clearance of 30 cm from AC power cabling and high-current drive wiring.
