Features:
- Provides reliable signal transmission with EMI/RFI protection for FTA-to-IOP connections
- Designed for TDC 3000, TDC 3000X, and Experion PKS systems
- PUR jacket, 16 AWG conductors, -40°C to +85°C operating range, and CE/UL/CSA certifications
The MU-KFTA05 51201420-005 is a 5.0-meter shielded I/O cable engineered to provide stable and reliable communication between Field Termination Assemblies (FTAs) and Input/Output Processors (IOPs) in Honeywell control systems . Its braided shield construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring signal integrity even in electrically noisy industrial environments . The cable's characteristic impedance of 100 Ohm ±15% and core-to-shield capacitance of <150 pF/m support precise signal transmission for process control applications . This makes the MU-KFTA05 51201420-005 essential for maintaining accurate analog and digital signal routing in DCS installations.
The MU-KFTA05 51201420-005 is designed specifically for Honeywell's Universal Control Network (UCN) and is fully compatible with TDC 3000, TDC 3000X, and Experion PKS distributed control systems . It connects FTAs to IOPs, forming the physical backbone for field signal interconnection in Honeywell I/O architectures . The cable supports both analog and digital signal types, handling process variables, control signals, and diagnostics . Its phone-to-phone connectors ensure secure and reliable interfacing . This wide compatibility makes the MU-KFTA05 51201420-005 a versatile spare for maintaining and upgrading legacy Honeywell installations.
The MU-KFTA05 51201420-005 is built for demanding industrial environments with a PUR (Polyurethane) jacket and 16 AWG copper conductors . It operates reliably across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has insulation resistance of 100 MOhm @ 500 V DC . The cable complies with CE, TUV, UL508, and CSA certifications, meeting international safety and quality standards . It is manufactured in the USA as a passive cable assembly requiring no external power . Its rugged construction ensures long-term operational stability in harsh industrial settings, including petrochemical plants, power generation facilities, and manufacturing sites.
The MU-KFTA05 51201420-005 HONEYWELL 5-Meter Shielded I/O Cable may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Petrochemical and Refining Complexes: Bridging field analog/digital telemetry loops (flow, pressure, status indications) from external hazardous areas back into central control cabinets.
- Chemical Manufacturing Facilities: Managing multi-channel process parameters where continuous data transmission is mandatory for system uptime.
- Power Plants & Boiler Infrastructure: Routing critical operational inputs across high-density I/O subsystems to keep track of system metrics without latency.
- CE Compliance: Fully certified under the European Economic Area framework for functional product performance, electrical reliability, and safety baseline validation.
- Safety Ground Integrity: Features an integrated FASTON grounding terminal located directly on the corner assembly structure to enforce strict safety-earth continuity when the Field Termination Assembly is situated in a remote enclosure outside the master processor cabinet.
- Industrial Environmental Compliance: Constructed using flame-retardant material layers optimized to survive industrial ambient temperatures and mild chemical exposures.
- Host System Matching: Explicitly designed for the Honeywell TDC 3000 and TotalPlant Solution (TPS) Process Manager platforms.
- Module-to-Board Bridging: Connects an Input/Output Processor (IOP) card nestled within the controller rack directly to a corresponding Field Termination Assembly (FTA) board mounted on the cabinet wall or a remote terminal junction.
- RInterface Type: Utilizes dual specialized Phone-to-Phone (Plug-in Type) high-density connectors to prevent loose connection profiles or terminal block wiring fatigue over years of physical system expansion.
- Drop-In Substitution Mapping: Operates interchangeably with other cables in the same product lineage (such as the 10-meter MU-KFTA10 or the 20-meter MU-KFTA20) depending solely on the target physical distance required between card gates.
