Honeywell FS-SICC-001/L8-IN System Interconnection Cable

Product Overview

The Honeywell FS-SICC-001/L8-IN is a System Interconnection Cable (SIC) designed to connect Field Termination Assemblies (FTAs) to I/O modules in Honeywell Safety Manager systems. This 8-meter cable is specifically configured for input module connections, providing reliable signal transmission between field wiring interfaces and the safety controller with shielded construction for noise immunity in industrial environments.

Key Features

• 8-Meter Length: Extended reach for flexible cabinet layout
• Input Configuration: Optimized for digital and analog input module connections
• Shielded Construction: EMI/RFI protection for signal integrity
• Pre-Terminated Connectors: Factory-assembled for reliable, error-free installation
• System Interconnection: Standard SIC interface for all Honeywell Safety Manager FTAs
• Color Coded: Input-specific coding prevents misconnection

Technical Specifications

• Model: FS-SICC-001/L8-IN
• Type: System Interconnection Cable (SIC)
• Length: 8 meters (26.2 ft)
• Configuration: Input (IN)
• Connector Type: SIC standard (FTA to I/O module)
• Shielding: Braided shield for EMI protection
• Wire Gauge: Multi-conductor, twisted pair
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C

Installation Guide

1. Route Planning: Plan cable route to avoid sharp bends (min 10× diameter) and interference sources
2. FTA Connection: Plug one end into SIC connector on the FTA
3. I/O Module Connection: Plug other end into corresponding SIC connector on I/O module
4. Shield Grounding: Connect shield to single-point ground at one end only to avoid ground loops
5. Strain Relief: Secure cable with tie-wraps to prevent connector stress

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between "IN" and "OUT" SIC cables?
A: "IN" cables are configured for input modules (digital/analog inputs), while "OUT" cables are for output modules. They may have different pin assignments or color coding.

Q: Can I use a longer cable than 8 meters?
A: Maximum SIC cable length is specified in Safety Manager documentation. Exceeding this length may affect signal integrity. Consult system documentation or use signal repeaters for longer distances.

Q: Is this cable interchangeable with other SICC models?
A: SICC cables are available in various lengths (e.g., L5 = 5m, L8 = 8m, L10 = 10m). Verify length requirements before ordering.

Selection Tips

• Measure actual distance between FTA and I/O module, adding service loop (typically 10-20% extra)
• Verify "IN" vs. "OUT" configuration matches the I/O module type
• For redundant modules, order two SIC cables (one per redundant FTA)
• Consider cable management and routing when selecting length
