Honeywell GN-KRR011 51204147-001 Fiber Optic Communication Cable

Honeywell GN-KRR011 51204147-001 Fiber Optic Communication Cable

The Honeywell GN-KRR011 51204147-001, also cataloged as the GN-KRR011 Fiber Optic Communication Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for noise-isolated optical data transmission within Experion PKS and C300 DCS network nodes.

Hardware Specifications

Channel-to-Channel Isolation and Optical Attenuation Limits

Industrial fiber optic cabling provides complete channel-to-channel isolation by eliminating metallic galvanic connections between DCS controller racks and remote I/O chassis. The simplex multimode core maintains low optical attenuation limits across standard 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelength bands, preventing signal degradation in high EMI/RFI power plant environments. Strict mechanical strain relief at the LC and ST strain-relief boots ensures stable insertion loss values under severe cabinet vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the GN-KRR011 cable be deployed outdoors without additional protection?

A: No. The PVC jacket is rated for indoor industrial cabinet and cable tray routing; direct outdoor deployment requires dedicated UV-resistant and armored conduit.

Q: What is the primary advantage of using an LC to ST hybrid fiber jumper in a DCS panel?

A: It allows direct connection between high-density LC interfaces on modern C300 controller nodes and legacy ST fiber distribution panels or transceivers without requiring inline adapters.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Inspect both LC and ST optical connector end-faces with a fiber inspection scope before mating, cleaning with lint-free wipes and isopropyl alcohol if contamination is present.
• Remove protective dust caps immediately before connection to prevent ambient dust from accumulating on the polished ferrule tips.
• Maintain a minimum bend radius of 30 mm (1.2 inches) along the cable path to avoid micro-bending optical power loss and glass fiber fatigue.
• Align the keyway on the ST connector and push-turn until locked, ensuring the LC connector latch fully snaps into the receiving optical transceiver socket.
• Secure the cable along panel ducting using loose velcro straps rather than tight plastic zip ties to prevent crushing the outer PVC sheath.
