6G Controls - Leading Supplier of New & Original PLC 、DCS Parts and Automation Controller
Overview
The MU-NKD020 51195153-020 is a factory-assembled UCN drop cable designed for Honeywell distributed control architectures that rely on deterministic, noise-resistant network communication. This cable set forms a direct physical interface between UCN backbone segments and system nodes, including controllers, I/O subsystems, and communication modules.
Engineered specifically for legacy and hybrid Honeywell control platforms, the cable maintains signal stability over extended distances while operating in electrically noisy industrial environments.
System Compatibility
The MU-NKD020 51195153-020 is qualified for use in the following Honeywell control systems:
- Honeywell TDC 2000
- Honeywell TDC 3000
- Honeywell TPS (TotalPlant Solution)
- Honeywell Experion PKS (UCN-based architectures)
Cable Construction & Design
This UCN drop cable is built around a shielded twisted-pair architecture optimized for balanced data transmission and electromagnetic immunity. Factory termination ensures consistent impedance and eliminates installation variability in the field.
Key construction characteristics include:
- Twisted-pair conductors for differential signaling
- Overall shielding to suppress EMI and RFI interference
- Industrial-grade insulation for long-term mechanical stability
- Pre-terminated connectors for rapid deployment and secure mating
