Product Introduction
The Honeywell 51202329-500 is a passive I/O Link cable assembly built for the Experion PKS Series C platform. This gray header cable distributes the I/O Link signal horizontally across cabinet tops. It connects the C300 Controller IOTA to multiple Series C IOTAs through six drop points.
Technical Specifications
The cable operates on the Series C I/O Link bus at 750 KBaud. Honeywell publishes a throughput of 2000 Link Units per second for this I/O family. Each C300 Controller manages two separate I/O Links, designated IOL1 and IOL2.
This specific variant carries the yellow label and serves as Cable A in a redundant pair. Cable A and Cable B (green label) always deploy together in redundant configurations. Therefore, the 51202329-500 requires a matching Cable B for full redundancy.
The assembly features 6 drops for multi-drop trunk distribution. It supports IOTA sizes of 6-inch (152 mm), 9-inch (229 mm), and 12-inch (305 mm). Each I/O Link accommodates up to 40 I/O Units under a 50 ms CEE configuration.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
The jacket color is gray. Honeywell does not publish per-cable temperature ratings, conductor gauge, or IP ratings for this passive order code. The cable ships within the certified Series C cabinet assembly. System-level compliance covers EN 61326-1:2013 for EMC and IEC/EN 61010-1 for safety.
Installation Guide
First, verify the system layout matches the cabinet topology. Route the 51202329-500 along the cabinet top using the designated cable channels. Next, connect the header end to the C300 Controller IOTA port labeled IOL1A or IOL2A.
Additionally, secure each drop connector to its corresponding Series C IOTA. Keep cable bends gentle to protect the conductor assembly. Finally, chain additional header or extension cables when the cabinet spans multiple sides, per R301.1 cabling rules.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between Cable A and Cable B?
Cable A carries a yellow label and plugs into the IOL1A or IOL2A port. Cable B uses a green label and connects to the B-side port for redundancy.
Q2: Can I use this cable without a redundant pair?
Honeywell specifies Cable A and Cable B as a required pair for redundant systems. Non-redundant setups still follow the published cabling rules in R301.1.
Q3: How many I/O Units can one link support?
Each I/O Link supports up to 40 I/O Units with a 50 ms CEE. IOTA address jumpers run from 1 to 40 accordingly.
Q4: Does this cable include field wiring terminals?
No. The 51202329-500 is a passive I/O Link trunk cable. Field-wiring terminals belong to the IOTA modules, not this harness.
Q5: How is the product shipped?
Orders ship via Fedex, UPS, and DHL with anti-static packaging and tracking support.
