51202353-201 Honeywell | 10-Meter Duplex Fiber Optic Extender

Honeywell CC-KFSGR5 51202353-201 | 10m Series C MTL Fiber Optic Extender Cable

The Honeywell CC-KFSGR5 (Part Number 51202353-201) is a high-performance fiber optic communication assembly designed for the Experion PKS C Series and MTL systems. This specific 10-meter variant provides a critical networking bridge, allowing for secure data transmission between controllers and distributed I/O modules. Because the cable utilizes advanced optical fiber technology, it remains completely immune to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) found in heavy industrial zones. Engineers frequently specify the 51202353-201 when system layouts require a greater reach than standard copper cables can safely provide. Moreover, the ruggedized jacket and industrial-grade LC-LC connectors ensure that signal attenuation remains minimal even in high-vibration environments. Consequently, this cable is a fundamental component for maintaining high-speed, bidirectional communication in modern process automation and safety instrumented systems.

In a large-scale industrial facility, the reliability of interconnecting hardware is paramount to preventing costly unplanned downtime. This cable features a duplex configuration that facilitates simultaneous two-way data flow between Honeywell MTL devices and the system backplane. Furthermore, the 10-meter length offers significant flexibility for technicians when designing cabinet layouts or bridging across separate enclosure racks. While traditional copper solutions might suffer from ground loops, the galvanic isolation of fiber optics protects sensitive control electronics perfectly. Therefore, choosing this genuine Honeywell accessory is the most effective way to ensure long-term stability in your distributed control system. Choosing the correct length variant, such as the -201, ensures a clean installation without the clutter of excessive cable slack.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between the 51202353-201 and the -200 version?

The 51202353-201 is 10 meters long, whereas the -200 variant is 5 meters, allowing you to match the cable to your layout.

Does this cable require any special tools for installation?

No, the LC-LC connectors are designed for standard industrial fiber ports; however, you should always clean the tips before insertion.

Can I use this cable for general-purpose Ethernet networking?

While it uses LC connectors, it is specifically optimized and certified for Honeywell Series C MTL communication protocols and hardware.

How does the fiber optic design improve system safety?

By eliminating electrical conductivity between modules, it prevents ground loops and stops electrical surges from traveling through the communication network.
