Product Name: MU-KFTA15 FTA Interface Cable (15-foot FTA-to-IOP interface cable)
Product Overview: The Honeywell MU-KFTA15 (Part Number 51201420-015) is a high-reliability interface cable used within the TDC 3000 Distributed Control System architecture. It provides a stable high-speed data connection between I/O processors and Field Termination Assemblies (FTA), ensuring accurate transmission of both analog and digital process signals.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Model: MU-KFTA15
- Part Number: 51201420-015
- Length: 15 feet (≈4.57 m)
- Connector Type: High-density multi-pin industrial connectors / Honeywell standard industrial connectors
- Shielding: Multi-layer foil + braided EMI shielding
- Jacket: Flame-retardant industrial-grade insulation
- Operating Temperature: –40 °C to +70 °C
- Humidity: 5% to 95% RH, non-condensing
- Weight: Approx. 0.1 kg
Functional Features: Superior EMI protection; reinforced strain relief protecting internal conductors from vibration and pulling forces; high-precision electrical contacts minimizing resistance and signal loss; 15-foot length offers additional routing flexibility for rack-to-rack or larger cabinet connections.
System Compatibility: TDC 3000, Experion PKS, PlantScape, and C300 controller systems.
Application Scenarios: Stable connection between I/O processors and FTAs in distributed control systems, supporting both analog and digital signal transmission.
Installation Requirements: Align connectors with matching IOP/FTA interfaces; avoid mechanical strain; ensure shielding integrity throughout the cable run.
Usage Notes: Field repairs are not recommended because factory-molded connectors are required to maintain impedance, shielding, and signal integrity. Replacement with a new unit is required if damaged.
