Description

Honeywell 50004263-001 Dedicated Control Network Communication Cable

Product Dimensions：

Honeywell provides highly specialized Dedicated Control Network Communication Cables tailored for its proprietary industrial automation networks, most notably the Local Control Network (LCN) and the high-speed Universal Control Network (UCN) used in legacy TDC 3000 systems, as well as the modern FTE (Fault Tolerant Ethernet) networks used in Experion® PKS.

The most iconic and strictly “dedicated” control cables in Honeywell’s catalog are the heavy-duty coaxial cables used for LCN/UCN and the custom-jacketed, dual-color cables used for FTE.

Product Detailed Description

These cables are engineered to meet strict industrial electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and physical durability requirements.

• LCN/UCN Coaxial Cables: Typically RG-11 or specialized dual-shielded trunk cables designed to transport high-speed token-pass control data between coaxial tap units (Transceivers/TAPs) without attenuation.
• FTE (Fault Tolerant Ethernet) Cables: Highly shielded twisted-pair (typically Cat6 or Cat6A) cables used in pairs (Yellow and Green) to create parallel, redundant communication paths for continuous control availability.

Typical Technical Parameters

Product Advantages

• Deterministic Communication: Engineered with minimal propagation delay and attenuation to support deterministic, real-time control networks where timing is critical.
• Superior Noise Immunity: High-density braiding and foil shielding provide excellent protection against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) generated by high-voltage equipment like Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs).
• Physical Ruggedness: Designed with outer jackets that resist oil, chemicals, UV radiation, and mechanical abrasion, making them ideal for cable trays in harsh industrial environments.
• Redundancy Enforcement: Honeywell’s FTE cable coloring (Green/Yellow) enforces correct visual identification during installation, preventing human errors in cross-connecting redundant control paths.

Important Considerations & Precautions

• Bend Radius: Always adhere to the minimum bend radius specifications (typically 10 times the outer diameter for coaxial cables). Kinking or over-bending alters the internal cable geometry, introducing impedance mismatches and data packet loss.
• Termination Quality: Use only specialized Honeywell-approved stripping tools and connectors (such as high-grade BNC or ruggedized RJ45 connectors). Poor termination is the number one cause of control network failure.
• Distance Limits: Respect the maximum segment lengths without repeaters (e.g., 100 meters for copper FTE/Ethernet, or specific limits for LCN trunk lines) to prevent signal degradation.
• Separation of Power and Data: Run these control cables in dedicated communication trays. Avoid running them parallel to high-voltage power cables to minimize inductive noise coupling.

Product Applications

• Refineries & Petrochemical Plants: Connecting distributed control room cabinets to local field processing units across large physical footprints.
• Power Plants: Linking critical turbine control systems, boiler controls, and generator monitoring units to the main human-machine interface (HMI).
• Control Room Infrastructure: Interfacing the Honeywell C300 controllers, Application Control Environments (ACE), and network switches within centralized server racks.
• Legacy System Upgrades: Maintenance and expansion of existing TDC 3000 setups requiring exact-match LCN coax trunks to avoid impedance drops.
