Features:
- Honeywell names MU-KFTA05 as the 5 m FTA I/O cable in its TPS I/O model table.
- The OEM table places it in the telephone-connector version rather than the separately listed shielded family.
- The additional 51201420-005 site number requires label or OEM-parts-record confirmation.
Page 58 of Honeywell's IO03-500 TPS Process Manager I/O specification lists a family of FTA I/O cables with telephone-style connectors. MU-KFTA05 is the five-meter entry; MU-KFTA10 and higher model numbers denote other listed lengths. Immediately below, Honeywell distinguishes shielded FTA I/O cables as MU-KFTSxx. The designation therefore supports a specific cable role and length but not a generic claim that MU-KFTA05 has a braided shield. The cited table also does not provide electrical or environmental ratings for this individual cable. Selection must be based on the approved system documentation and actual cable marking.
Before replacing an installed FTA I/O cable, qualified personnel should identify the I/O processor and FTA endpoints, check the route and connector style, and record existing tags and connection orientation. Compare the complete MU-KFTA05 and 51201420-005 markings with the approved bill of materials; the latter number is present in the site's identity but is not cross-referenced by the reviewed Honeywell specification. After authorized isolation and fitting, inspect connector retention and cable routing, then prove affected I/O paths under the site's test plan. The source does not establish current Honeywell availability, hot-swap permission or interchangeability with another length or shielded variant.
The MU-KFTA05 51201420-005 may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Honeywell MU-KFTA05 51201420-005 official technical documentation and product links.
This multi-page Honeywell technical document contains the exact model and its technical data. Apply the values to the supplied type number and verify its revision before installation.
Honeywell's model-number table identifies MU-KFTA05 as the five-meter FTA I/O cable. The reviewed page does not state that the site's additional 51201420-005 number is an official alternate identifier. Check both numbers on the allocated physical cable and in the manufacturer's parts record. Do not infer the properties of other MU-KFTA lengths from this one model.
The OEM table groups MU-KFTA05 in the telephone-connector version of FTA I/O cables. The separate MU-KFTSxx line is explicitly the shielded FTA I/O cable family. The current site's prior shielded, impedance and capacitance claims are not supported by this exact-model page. Match the installed cable construction and connectors to the original cabinet drawing before selecting a replacement.
Record both I/O and FTA endpoints, routing length, tags and connector orientation before an authorized cable change. Use the site's isolation and process-safety procedure, not a generic hot-swap assumption. After installation, inspect seating and routing, confirm hardware diagnostics and test every affected I/O point. The Honeywell model table does not establish current support status or interchangeable variants.
