Honeywell MU-KFTA30 51197595-300 FTA Interconnection Cable (30m)

Product Overview

The Honeywell MU-KFTA30 (Part Number: 51197595-300 / 51201420-030) serves as a high-reliability Field Termination Assembly (FTA) interconnection link within the Honeywell TDC 3000 and TotalPlant Solution (TPS) architectures. This 30-meter cable facilitates the critical data path between I/O processors and field termination boards. We provide this component as 100% Brand New Original equipment to ensure millivolt-precision signal accuracy and long-term network stability.

Technical Specifications

The MU-KFTA30 is engineered to maintain low impedance over extended lengths for critical process control:

Engineering Advantages

• Precision Signal Integrity: The 30-meter MU-KFTA30 maintains low attenuation for both digital and 4-20mA analog signals. This ensures that field data reaches the controller without the voltage drops common in non-proprietary cabling.

• Built-in Fault Mitigation: The cable construction supports Honeywell’s system-level diagnostics, enabling the controller to detect open-circuit or short-circuit conditions at the termination level.

• Simplified Long-Distance Routing: At 30 meters, this cable allows engineers to centralize controllers in climate-controlled environments while placing Field Termination Assemblies closer to the physical process, reducing local wiring costs.

• EMI Shielding: Advanced internal shielding protects low-level control signals from the "noise" generated by nearby variable frequency drives (VFDs) and heavy machinery commonly found in industrial plants.

FAQs

• Can I use the MU-KFTA30 with any Honeywell FTA board?

  This cable specifically fits the MU-series and MC-series Field Termination Assemblies used in TDC 3000 and TPS systems. Always check your FTA's pin configuration to ensure a match with the MU-KFTA30's connector standard.

• Is this cable rated for outdoor use?

  The MU-KFTA30 is designed for industrial indoor environments. If routing between buildings or in outdoor trays, we recommend using rigid conduit to protect the jacket from UV degradation and mechanical stress.

• Does the cable come pre-terminated?

  Yes. The cable features factory-molded connectors on both ends. This "Plug-and-Play" design eliminates the high failure rate associated with hand-crimped field connections in high-vibration areas.

• How does the length affect signal delay?

  Honeywell engineers the TDC 3000 communication protocols to account for the propagation delay of 30-meter links. Using this original cable ensures your system timing remains within factory-specified tolerances.
