Product Introduction
The Honeywell 51202329-111 Violet Drop Cable is an industrial-grade, shielded drop cable engineered for use in Honeywell’s distributed control environments, such as TDC 3000 and Experion PKS. As part of the violet-coded family of drop cables, it plays a key role in maintaining organized, high-integrity signal routing between controllers, I/O modules, and interface equipment.
This drop cable is factory-assembled with Honeywell-approved connectors, ensuring plug-and-play integration and reducing installation time. It is particularly valued for its electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance and high signal reliability, making it ideal for harsh environments where precise communication is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the main purpose of the 51202329-111 Violet Drop Cable?
It connects Honeywell DCS system components and maintains clean, shielded signal transmission across critical paths.
2. What distinguishes the violet color coding?
The violet jacket helps identify specific communication pathways, reducing troubleshooting time and improving maintenance clarity.
3. Are the connectors factory-installed or field-terminated?
Connectors are professionally installed at the factory, ensuring compatibility and consistent electrical contact.
4. Can the cable be used for analog and digital signals?
Yes, it supports both analog and digital signals as long as they operate within the specified voltage and current ratings.
5. Is this cable resistant to EMI from heavy machinery?
Yes. It uses foil and braided shielding for effective protection in high-interference industrial environments.
6. How should I route this cable in a dense control cabinet?
Thanks to its compact outer diameter, it can be routed through small spaces. Avoid sharp bends and interference from high-voltage lines.
7. What is the minimum bend radius of the cable?
Typically, a safe bend radius is 5–6 times the cable’s outer diameter (approx. 30–36 mm).
8. What materials are used for the conductor and jacket?
The conductors are made from 22 AWG tinned copper, while the outer jacket is flame-retardant PVC.
9. How can I ensure signal integrity during installation?
Use proper grounding, avoid electromagnetic hot zones, and verify connector seating during installation.
10. Is the 51202329-111 interchangeable with 51202329-110?
Yes, both have similar construction and length; however, final compatibility depends on connector type and intended signal function.
