Honeywell FS-CCE-232-02/L10 Communication Cable

The Honeywell FS-CCE-232-02/L10, also cataloged as the FS-CCE-232-02/L10 Communication Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for RS-232 serial data transmission within Honeywell Safety Manager systems. Hardware Specifications Parameter Specification Model FS-CCE-232-02/L10 Brand Honeywell Origin USA Weight Approx. 1.10 kg Dimensions 10.0 m (32.8 ft) cable length Operating Temp -20 deg C to +70 deg C Power Consumption Passive signal transmission assembly Interface Standard RS-232 serial communication Cable Length 10.0 m Conductor Type Shielded multi-core twisted copper pairs Connector Type Industrial sub-D / module plug connectors System Compatibility Honeywell Safety Manager / FSC Controllers 4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol and Channel-to-Channel Isolation The FS-CCE-232-02/L10 cable utilizes high-coverage braided metallic shielding and foil wrapping to isolate high-speed serial data lines from external electromagnetic interference (EMI). By preventing serial switching noise from radiating onto adjacent cabinet backplanes, the cable protects the integrity of nearby analog I/O circuits. This preserves channel-to-channel isolation references and prevents signal distortion on field-side loops running 4-20 mA HART loop protocol communications. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What does the "L10" suffix represent in the FS-CCE-232-02/L10 part number? A: The "L10" suffix designates the factory-manufactured overall cable length of 10.0 meters (32.8 ft). Q: Is the FS-CCE-232-02/L10 cable designed for full-duplex RS-232 communication? A: Yes, the cable incorporates dedicated transmit (TX), receive (RX), and handshake lines wired for standard full-duplex serial interface protocols. Q: Can this communication cable be installed in the same wire duct as 230 VAC power lines? A: No, low-voltage communication cabling must be physically separated from high-voltage AC cables to prevent inductive noise coupling and signal degradation. Field Installation Guidelines Verify that controller serial ports are powered down or isolated before seating or removing the cable connectors. Tighten all connector thumbscrews and locking latches to ensure constant grounding contact and strain relief. Maintain a minimum bend radius of at least 10 times the cable outer diameter during wire duct installation. Connect shield drain wires directly to the designated enclosure earth bus bar at a single terminal point to prevent ground loops.
