Honeywell FS-CCI-HSE-30 51506993-730 High-Speed Ethernet Cable

The Honeywell FS-CCI-HSE-30, also cataloged as the Honeywell 51506993-730 High-Speed Ethernet Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-fidelity physical signal transmission within Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Distributed Control System (DCS) networks. Engineered to maintain absolute communication integrity under electrical and mechanical stress, this component executes deterministic data transfers between safety-critical controllers, I/O modules, and networked field devices.

Hardware Specifications

DCS Loop & Fieldbus Integration Characteristics

• 4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol Coexistence: Provides high-density Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) attenuation features that prevent high-frequency Ethernet switching noise from cross-coupling into sensitive 4-20 mA HART analog signaling loops sharing the same containment trays.
• FOUNDATION Fieldbus / Profibus PA Segment Isolation: Maintains a physical layer barrier via dedicated foil/braided shielding, preventing transient noise from the High-Speed Ethernet (HSE) backbone from degrading low-speed fieldbus H1 segment signaling.
• High Channel-to-Channel Isolation Performance: The premium thermoplastic jacket and isolated STP pairs provide physical and electrical isolation, protecting redundant safety network channels from simultaneous common-mode electrical faults.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this cable meet industrial safety requirements for installation in environmental airspaces (plenum spaces)?

A: Yes. The FS-CCI-HSE-30 features a plenum-rated, flame-retardant thermoplastic jacket that complies with NFPA fire safety standards, making it safe for routing through drop ceilings and ductwork without conduit.

Q: Which communication protocols are verified for use over this physical cable?

A: The cable is optimized for High-Speed Ethernet (HSE) protocols, fully supporting Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and Honeywell proprietary HSE communication networks.

Q: How is the cable shielding terminated to prevent electromagnetic interference?

A: The cable incorporates a continuous foil or braided shield with an integrated drain wire. This design must be terminated through shielded RJ45 connectors or industrial-grade terminals to the system's functional earth ground.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Maintain a minimum bend radius of 10 times the overall cable outer diameter during pulling, and 8 times the outer diameter once fixed in place, to prevent deformation of the twisted pairs.
• Secure the cable using wide hook-and-loop fasteners or industrial cable ties. Avoid over-tightening plastic zip ties, which can compress the jacket and degrade Cat 5e transmission impedance.
• Separate the Ethernet run from high-voltage motor lead cables by at least 300 mm in unshielded open trays, or route the safety communication cable inside a dedicated grounded metal conduit.
