Product Details
The Honeywell 51308112-003, also cataloged as the 51308112-003 Coaxial Cable Assembly, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-speed Local Control Network (LCN) node interconnectivity within Honeywell TDC 3000 DCS platforms. Constructed as a 3 meter RG11 coaxial cable pair with pre-installed inline ferrite cores, the cable set establishes redundant physical layer links between network interface modules. The RG11 assembly maintains controlled characteristic impedance to minimize signal attenuation and high-frequency noise reflections across local control bus spans.

Channel-to-Channel Isolation
The 51308112-003 RG11 coaxial cable set utilizes heavy braid and foil shielding around each conductor to prevent RF interference and cross-talk between redundant LCN A and LCN B network channels. Integrated inline ferrite beads suppress common-mode electromagnetic noise and high-frequency voltage transients before signals reach transceiver electronics on the network interface cards. This physical and electrical isolation preserves low-error bit transmission across active control node connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can an individual cable in the 51308112-003 dual set be disconnected while the LCN network is operational?
A: Disconnecting one cable breaks communication on that specific link channel (A or B), but the network maintains operational node connectivity via the secondary redundant cable.
Q: What is the primary purpose of the inline ferrite cores on this RG11 coaxial assembly?
A: The ferrite cores act as high-frequency chokes to attenuate common-mode noise and electromagnetic interference picked up along the 3 meter cable run.
Q: What installation precautions prevent physical degradation of the RG11 coaxial cable structure?
A: Maintain the manufacturer specified minimum bend radius during cabinet routing to avoid deforming the dielectric core or damaging the outer shield braid.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Inspect the 3 meter cable jacket, BNC/F-type connectors, and ferrite modules for physical damage before installation.
- Route Link A and Link B coaxial cables through distinct cabinet paths to preserve physical redundancy and prevent concurrent mechanical damage.
- Align the coaxial connectors with the LCN node interface ports and twist to lock firmly into position.
- Ensure connector shield shells establish full 360-degree contact with the mating jack for ground continuity.
- Avoid overtightening or sharp bends near the connector terminations to prevent internal impedance mismatches.

Tech & Buying Guide
Understanding Root Causes of Unplanned PLC Stop Mode in Industrial Automation
Modern Programmable Logic Controllers manage execution through distinct operational states: Run, Stop, Start-Up, and Hold. During power-up, a controller initializes memory registers within Stop mode before briefly transitioning to Start-Up mode. During this phase, internal self-diagnostics evaluate system integrity across hardware and user programs. If the controller detects no critical faults, it enters Run mode to execute the control program continuously. However, any severe system anomaly forces the CPU back into Stop mode immediately to prevent erratic machine behavior across the plant floor.
Human-Machine Interface Design: Essential Guide to HMI Selection, Visualization, and Control System Integration
Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) serve as the primary operational window into complex industrial automation systems. Modern HMIs convert raw machine data into clear graphical displays, enabling operators to oversee entire manufacturing processes in real time. Instead of relying on physical control panels full of hardwired switches, engineers program interactive screens using intuitive graphics, dynamic color coding, and responsive touch interfaces. Over my 15 years in control systems engineering, I have observed HMIs transform from basic display screens into sophisticated command centers that drive operational efficiency across DCS and PLC environments.
Understanding Safety Relays in Industrial Automation: Architecture, Operation, and Functional Safety
Standard electromechanical relays provide basic electrical isolation between low-voltage control circuits and high-power output loads. A traditional switching relay features a magnetic coil driving mechanical Common (COM), Normally-Open (NO), and Normally-Closed (NC) contacts. However, standard relays pose severe functional risks when deployed in critical safety interlock circuits. High current inrush or mechanical wear can weld contacts together permanently. If contact welding occurs in an emergency stop circuit, pressing the button fails to halt hazardous machinery movements. Consequently, global functional safety standards prohibit standard relays for critical machine guarding functions.
